Georgetown (Delaware)

The original courthouse was replaced by the current structure, which was built in 1837 on South Bedford Street. It was restored in 1976.

Georgetown's oldest church, it was constructed in 1844 and remodeled in 1881 in the early Victorian Gothic style; its congregation organized in 1794, shortly after the close of the American Revolutionary War. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

It has a fast, half-mile clay oval for high-speed racing. It has grandstands, parking, a large, flat pit area, and room for overnight camping.

A half-day-long parade and festival two days after Election Day. It stems from colonial days, when the public would congregate in Georgetown two days after the election to hear the results (because it would take that long to deliver the results to the courthouse by horseback from the state capital in Dover, Delaware). The winners of that year's elections parade in horse-drawn carriages around The Circle. Together with the losers and the chairs of the county's political parties, they ceremonially "bury the hatchet" in a tub of sand. The day's events are marked by a traditional ox feast, and the beginning of the next round of campaigns.
