Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker meeting house in Hockessin, Delaware.
The stone building features a gable roof with projecting cornice, crown molding, and white walls that complement its architectural simplicity.
British troops under Lord Cornwallis used the meetinghouse as a campsite on September 9, 1777, during their movement toward the Battle of Brandywine.
Regular Quaker meetings began in 1737, establishing this location as a central point for religious gatherings and community development in Mill Creek Hundred.
Located at 1501 Old Wilmington Road, the meetinghouse maintains its original purpose while offering educational tours about Delaware's religious heritage.
The structure functioned as the only school in the region from the late 18th to early 19th century, serving both educational and religious purposes.
