Hagley Museum

This is a great place to check out if you are into history. This is were the company DuPont was founded. Check out the website to see upcoming events. They tend to have a lot for young kids as well as adults during the week. If you like my post follow me. .

Interesting history and example of water powered machines. You can watch as sluice gates are opened and water begins to start turbines. Very cool demos. Last entry is 3pm but if you want to visit the home, you should arrive by 2pm. We arrived at 2:30pm and had missed the last shuttle bus that takes you to the home. The museum offers discount rates for people who have and active EBT card ($2 per person).

This is the home of E. DuPont and the Black Powder mills. The DuPont family was very prominent in Wilmington Delaware. They arrived in the early 1800’s. They started their business in the manufacturing of black gun powder

Natural resources beauty kingdom!

You can watch and enjoy waterfalls sound very closely , it’s small height but still very beautiful.

Very rare find old and big stones construction which you can easily find here and very climbing hill experience is very nice.

The Hagley Museum is fascinating. It is a gunpowder factory that helped make the DuPont fortune and is quite a large campus. You can walk or take the shuttle and the tours are very informative. Situated along the Brandywine river, there are many mills and building to explore. Learn how gunpowder was made and many other interesting things. Our favorites were the tour of the gunpowder mills, run by gravity powered water turbines (it ends with a BANG) and the machine shop (so jealous). The museum is near the DuPont Estate and both can be seen in a day if you are ready to walk. I Highly recommend visiting, especially if you like engineering, machines, etc.
