Rockwood Park & Museum in Wilmington, Delaware, is a beautifully preserved 19th-century estate that showcases Rural Gothic Revival architecture. Built between 1851 and 1854 by Quaker merchant banker Joseph Shipley, the mansion was modeled after English country homes and later inhabited by the Bringhurst family. Today, the museum offers guided and self-guided tours that highlight the daily lives, furnishings, and stories of the families who lived there.
Situated on 72 acres, Rockwood also features manicured gardens, wooded trails, and picnic spaces, making it a popular spot for both history lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The property hosts a variety of community events throughout the year, including ghost tours, Pride lectures, yoga sessions, seasonal craft workshops, and festivals such as the Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Festival. The Carriage House on-site serves as a rental venue for weddings, family celebrations, and corporate gatherings. While parts of the museum are accessible, some areas require stair access, so guests with mobility needs are encouraged to call ahead. Rockwood Park is recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Whether you're drawn by the history, the gardens, or the events, Rockwood Park & Museum offers a timeless and enriching experience.
