John Dickinson House, Georgian plantation house near Dover, Delaware.
The John Dickinson House features Early Georgian architectural elements with two added wings across a 13,000-acre former plantation property.
Built in 1739 by Samuel Dickinson, the mansion endured British raids in 1781 and sustained fire damage in 1804 before its restoration.
The mansion preserves the legacy of John Dickinson, who authored the Articles of Confederation and contributed to the United States Constitution.
The Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs maintains the house as a museum, offering tours and educational programs throughout the year.
The property includes the original mansion facing a modified section of the St. Jones River, which changed course from its colonial-era position.
