Duck Creek Village, also known as Salisbury, is a national historic district located at Smyrna, Kent County, Delaware. It encompasses three contributing buildings that are the remnants of a mid-18th century community. They are the two-story, five-bay, brick former miller's house known as "The Lindens;" a one-story, plank house with a steep gable roof; and a former grist mill measuring 80 feet by 100 feet.[2] In 1998 and 1999, the Duck Creek Historical Society disassembled and moved the plank house to the rear yard of the Smyrna Museum Complex.
