The New Castle Court House Museum, built in 1732, is a historic landmark in the heart of the City of New Castle, Delaware. Serving as Delaware's first court and state capitol, it played a pivotal role in the state's independence from Pennsylvania and England in 1776.

This National Historic Landmark is one of the oldest surviving courthouses in the United States, hosting significant events related to slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the formation of the Delaware State. Visitors can explore exhibits highlighting the state's history and cultural heritage, including the harrowing journey to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
