Title	Waterworks, City of Wilmington - Hilton Park.
Subject	Waterworks, Hilton Park
Description	Hilton Railroad Bridge over the Cape Fear River. Hilton Park, located on Wilmington's north side, was named for the Hill family, who owned Hilton Plantation. The Hills sold the property to Cornelius Harnett (1723-1781), one of the Lower Cape Fear area's revolutionary patriots. The Park is now the site of Wilmington's reputed World's Largest Living Christmas Tree. The headquarters of the city's water system is also located here.
