Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, Delaware
This living storybook museum is located on 1,000 acres of meadows and woodlands within the forests of coastal Delaware. Once a Du Pont family country retreat, this estate’s spectacular gardens surround a 175-room mansion that houses the world’s finest collection of American decorative arts from 1640-1860.
The way the entire place is so well cared for and conserved is absolutely incredible. They offer tour guides that are very knowledgeable and give you plenty of information about the mansion’s history, including the story of its original owners. For history and nature lovers, this is definitely an experience worth the trip. It is genuinely a true gem of Delaware.
