Hockessin Tidbits

Located along a relatively quiet road stands a humble, simple-looking one-story stone house with a gabled roof. This is the Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse, a historical building that served as a Quaker meeting house back in the 18th century. It was originally built in 1738 and has been renovated constantly throughout the years. In 2013, the Quaker society updated the house's support facilities, restrooms, kitchen, and meeting room. Although many things have been added to the house, it still retains its 18th century ambiance and stonework.

The Quaker meeting house is far from the only memorable tourist attraction and historical site in Hockessin, Delaware. The town was founded back in the 1600s and some of its first settlers were Catholic missionary priests from Maryland. According to its residents, the name Hockessin comes from the Lenape word "hòkèsa", which means "pieces of bark".

The entire town, with a little more than 13,000 residents, has a rich history, with many of its buildings preserved for posterity, like the A. Armstrong Farm. The farm consists of a log house, which had stone additions in the 1830s. Around the same time, the farm was updated with tri-level stone work and a frame barn. Unfortunately, the farm house and barn were demolished in the early 2000s.

Another farm that shows off Hockessin's history is the T. Pierson Farm. It dates back to the 19th century and has three contributing buildings on its property. Visitors can see the two-story stone house, a barn, and an outbuilding. The house has is two-bay building with a gable roof and rubble fieldstone.

With whitewashed walls and a five-bay main façade, the house looks like the ideal vacation spot out in the country. There's a cool, breezy ambiance surrounding the area, as well as tall trees and green bushes. Obvious care is given to the shrubbery around the place. The barn also offers a look into the 1800s architecture. It has a pyramid-shaped roof with louvered sides that gives it a more sophisticated look despite being centuries old.

Since Delaware has a rich agricultural history, it's not a surprise to find many residents keeping farms. The Springer Farm is another historical site that has survived centuries since its foundation in the 1700s. There is a large stone house, dating back to 1798, a frame bank barn that has been around since 1820, a stone spring house, and a corn crib. The main stone house is a two-story building with a gable roof, like most of the historical buildings in the town.

Although some older farm houses in the area had been demolished or lost in the fire a long time ago, the town has a lot of other old establishments and buildings that continue to preserve Hockessin's rich and colorful heritage and history. The Coffee Run Mission site is another historical site that was built in 1812 as a two-story house with three-bay stone dwelling. It is sometimes also called the Coffee Run Church and St. Mary's Church. The site has its own cemetery, where the first Catholic Hockessin settlers were buried. The location was also where the first Catholic church was built.

Although some of the buildings in the historic area had already been demolished, visitors will still be able to see a small cinder block building in the cemetery. This building houses an altar, the remnants of the original missionary church that was built in 1790. It was a simple church, but it was the first ever Catholic church in Delaware and it prompted the birth of the Diocese of Wilmington.

The stone façade of the old barn on the Coffee Run Mission site has been preserved for the structure of the new church. The Trinity Community Church handles the site's preservation and does yearly evaluations and upgrades to the area to keep the historic district's buildings and remnants intact.

Along Valley Road, any visitor will be able to spot Public School No. 49, otherwise known as the Lamborn Library, which was once a school building. It was built in 1870 and started operations as a one-room school. Two decades later, a second story and room were added to accommodate the growing population in Hockessin. As other schools started in the area, this one ceased operations in the 1900s. In 1932, it soon became a library and a community center. Eventually, the library was housed in another building in 1994.

While other history buffs have a thing for old buildings, others are more interested in the town's industry. One of the establishments that started the town's rise to industrial standards is the Wilmington and Western Railroad business. This freight and heritage railroad still operates and gives families and friends various trips between Wilmington and Hockessin on special occasions.

It's a treat to be able to go around town on a locomotive, especially since this railroad essentially serves as a museum that has preserved the traditional train cars. In fact, it still operates a 1929 Pennsylvania Railroad "Doodlebug" railcar. The railroad offers various events for locals and tourists. Anyone can purchase a ticket just to feel what it's like to ride a 20th century train while on a one and a half hour road trip to the Red Clay Valley for a picnic. Visitors can also ride the train's vintage car on the way to Back Burner Restaurant near the tracks. Even better, local breweries serve their finest products aboard the train during special events!
