Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, Colonial house museum in Wilmington, United States.

The Burgwin-Wright House is a colonial residence in Wilmington filled with furniture and objects from the 18th and 19th centuries. The property spans two acres and includes a detached kitchen building and seven distinct garden areas.

John Burgwin, a Cambridge-educated merchant and provincial official, bought the corner of Market and Third Streets in 1769, where Wilmington's main jail, spelled "gaol", had stood since 1744. He built his town house there around 1770, likely occupying it by 1771, and used it to conduct business and entertain. The 1799 Wright purchase is not supported by the source.

John Burgwin built the house to impress business partners and social peers, since discussing profits was considered rude; wealth was shown through the home and its furnishings instead. The house hosted wealthy families, associates and merchants who came to Wilmington in the warmer months.

Visitors can explore the house Monday through Saturday with guided tours. The property can also be reserved for private events and weddings.

The basement preserves original stone walls and cells from when the building served as the city jail. These spaces offer a direct view into the site's former purpose.
