We spent about 4 hours here in late September. The grounds are beautiful and are easy to get around. There is a shuttle that circulates the grounds on a regular basis.

I went to Hagley 40 years ago on a class trip, fourth grade Delaware history and it made such an impression that I had to go back and take my husband. We enjoyed it so much and the tour guides were great. A little known Delaware gem. more

On a recent trip from Brooklyn to DC, we decided to break the trip in half and visit and stay overnight in Delaware. The visit to the Hagley Museum was a huge pleasant surprise. This museum contains the original Dupont business and mansion. The site along the Brandywine River is the locale for a few dozen water powered mills that... more
