Hendrickson House, Swedish colonial house in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Hendrickson House stands as a two-story residence with traditional colonial architecture, featuring a great room and an upper-floor bedroom.
Andrew Hendrickson, a farmer from New Sweden colony, constructed this house in 1690 in Chester, Pennsylvania, before its relocation to Delaware in 1958.
The house exhibits Swedish-American architectural elements and contains period furnishings that reflect the daily life of early colonial settlers in America.
Visitors can explore the museum to learn about 17th-century American life through displays of historical artifacts and educational exhibits.
The structure maintains its position as one of the oldest surviving Swedish-American homes in the United States, representing early colonial construction methods.
