The Hale-Byrnes House, located at 606 Stanton-Christiana Road, Stanton, New Castle County, Delaware, was built in 1750. The house was built by Samuel Hale, who sold it to Daniel Byrnes in 1754. The house gained historic stature after the Battle of Cooch's Bridge, the only Revolutionary War battle in Delaware. After the skirmish General George Washington held a council at the house on September 6, 1777.[1]
The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
The house is open the public on the first Wednesday of each month from 12 to 3 PM, and at other times by appointment. The house is also available for rental.
