Mordington is tied to a grim local story about an enslaved girl remembered in folklore as Tom’s daughter, whose spirit was later said to haunt the property. Delaware archival materials preserve the story as part of the site’s local tradition. The historic house is private, so OddWay routing should keep visitors to public roads only.
Filed under folklore: stories a place tells about itself, passed down and still repeated.
