Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens

Offering a truly unique experience of local history and a superb example of Georgian architecture, the circa 1770 residence is graced by Colonial style gardens. All rooms are furnished with 18th and 19th century antiques and showcase hundreds of rare objects. Built on the former walls of the 1744 city jail, the house retains many vestiges of its previous incarnation. The property also features a freestanding kitchen house. The four level terrace gardens are open to the public free of charge year-round during the museum hours, and their website has a downloadable self-guided tour or you can scan a code using your cell phone. Join them for special events like Friday Evening Tours, Fourth Friday Gallery Nights, Outlander Walking Tours, Seasonal Craft Markets and Holiday Events.
