HAGLEY MUSEUM AND LIBRARY Wilmington, DE

Step back in time at this historic complex, once home to five generations of the du Pont family and its thriving business

Located on 235 acres along the banks of the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware, Hagley Museum and Library is a sprawling indoor-outdoor must-see experience spanning hundreds of years of history. It is here that five generations of du Pont family members lived — in the beautiful Georgianstyle home as well as the surrounding complex of buildings and gardens — since its competition in 1803.

The first Du Pont black powder was made at Hagley in 1804.

Group tours are available seven days a week during most of the year, with free, on-site motorcoach parking. (www.hagley.org)
