Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Based just outside of downtown Wilmington, the Rockwood Museum is a historic estate turned museum. Originally built in the early 1850s, the home was constructed as an elaborate country house for an English banker. Passed down through several generations of descendants, the home now belongs to a non-profit organization that restored the building, developed an internal museum, and opened the interior and grounds to the public for tours and educational programs.

The home is available for self-guided tours throughout the gardens and rooms of the house, in addition to guided ghost tours, a farmers market, and a variety of seasonal events.
