The Jackson Inn is located at 101 North DuPont Road, Wilmington, DE 19807-3105 where North DuPont Road and Lancaster Avenue intersect. It’s across the street from the Lancaster Avenue entrance to the Silverbrook Cemetery and faces the large sculpture on the corner of North DuPont Road that fronts the Cab Calloway School for the Performing Arts (Wilmington High School).
There will be the usual $5 cover, which gifts the featured readers. Free parking is available in the parking lot that surrounds the Inn. The food is tasty and reasonably priced!
NOTE: The Jackson Inn holds a tavern license, and while they serve food, they are restricted to the limitations of a tavern for serving alcohol. That means that Second Saturday attendees MUST BE 21 years of age to attend readings at the Jackson Inn.
