Coffee Run Mission Site, Religious mission site in Hockessin, Delaware.
The Coffee Run Mission Site contains a cemetery with over 50 carved headstones and 12 uncut stone markers spread across 66 feet by 183 feet.
Established in 1790 with a log church, this location marked the beginning of what later developed into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington.
The mission site served as an educational center where families gathered for community events while promoting religious education in rural Delaware.
The cemetery grounds remain accessible to visitors interested in exploring the first Catholic burial site in Delaware, featuring original stone markers.
The Father Kenney House, built in 1812 as a three-bay stone dwelling, stood on the property until its destruction by fire in March 2010.
