Built prior to 1800, this gray fieldstone house is the former home of Judge Hugh M. Morris, a Delaware native, respected attorney and distinguished federal judge. Decorated in the style of the late 1930s, the period when Judge Morris completed renovations to his farmhouse, the estate includes a pond, lovely gardens, rolling manicured lawns, a fenced-in courtyard, and quaint indoor accommodations inside this exquisite stone structure.
From March 1 to November 30 day use park entrance fees are charged ($4 for Delaware car, $8 for out of state) The fee is good for all state parks that may be visited that day--save your receipt.
