Academy/Masonic Hall

In 1827 the Delaware legislature authorized a lottery for the purpose of funding the construction of "an Adademy and Masonic Hall." Land was purchased in 1840, and construction commenced the following year. The building was formally dedicated on December 28, 1842. The Georgetown Academy had a prestigious reputation and was attended by students from throughout the country. Classes at this private institution were discontinued in 1885 when a new public school was built in the town. In 1889 the Trustees of the Academy conveyed their interest in the property to Franklin Lodge No. 12. The building was remodeled to its present appearance in 1920.

Wilson Park

Directly Across the Street from Fraklin Lodge No. 27 is the serene Wilson Park, a Troop 95 Project dedicated by Mayor Layton Johnson.
