Government Building

Built in 1798 near earlier civic structures, Wilmington's Old Town Hall is now a museum operated by the Historical Society of Delaware. The building stands near where Wilmington's colonial-era civic life centered during the Revolutionary period. During the 1777–1778 British occupation, the area served British administrative purposes.
