But as time passed, they realized there was so much more they could do. They decided to open up the market to people selling all kinds of things, turning it into a diverse shopping experience that drew in visitors from all over.
Over the years, Spence’s Bazaar became a cherished spot in the community. It became deeply rooted in the history and culture of Dover.
