Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, Colonial house museum in Wilmington, United States.
The Burgwin-Wright House features rooms with 18th and 19th-century antiques, a freestanding kitchen, and seven distinct garden areas across two acres.
The structure, built in 1770 on former jail walls from 1744, belonged to merchant John Burgwin before Joshua Grainger Wright purchased it in 1799.
Each room contains period furniture and artifacts that demonstrate the daily routines and social customs of colonial-era Wilmington residents.
Visitors can explore the house through guided tours Monday through Saturday, with options to reserve the property for private events and weddings.
The basement area preserves the original stone walls and cells from its previous function as the city jail of colonial Wilmington.
