Woodburn and Hall House

Overview

Woodburn has served as the official residence of the Governor of Delaware since it was purchased by the state in 1965. Today, historians credit Woodburn’s historical importance as much to the home’s architecture as to its previous notable residents. Gentlemen farmers, landowners, an abolitionist, two U.S. Senators, two doctors, a dentist, a judge and eight recent Delaware Governors have all left their imprints on this fine home.

Tours of Woodburn are currently unavailable to be scheduled in advance, although they are given open-house style every First Saturday in conjunction with First State Heritage Park.
