We begin at Hagley Museum with a narrated tour of the original Dupont Gunpowder factories. Located on 235 acres along the banks of the Brandywine in Wilmington, Delaware, Hagley is the site of the gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802. This example of early American industry includes restored mills, a workers' community, and the ancestral home and gardens of the du Pont family.
Next we stop at Winterthur featuring a stunning Estate, magnificent 60-acre naturalistic garden, and an unrivaled collection of American decorative arts. The garden is a result of the artistic vision of its creator, Henry Francis du Pont (1880-1969) and is surrounded by nearly 1,000 acres of meadows, farmland, and waterways. Winterthur also features a cafe and food options for lunch in the Pavilion or a picnic on the Grounds.
Departing at 7:30am from the Home Depot Front Parking Lot in Lewes and returning at 5:00pm.
