The Hagley museum is a wonderful place to go if you have children who are over 9 years old or so, or if you are with an adult only crowd... My mistake was trying to visit with toddlers. In order to access the home and garden tour, you have to take a short bus ride to the main exhibit., participate... More

We had been told about this "absolutely great" museum so when the opportunity presented itself one cold and windy February day, we went there. It was well worth it! Not only was this a lesson in history, but also taught us a lot about our times. So now, we know where many of the products we use come from and... More

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the duPont family and their beginnings in America. We were taken on an extensive tour of the family home as well as the industrial buildings where machinery was engineered and gunpowder was made. We saw several of the duPont cars that were individually made at the time.

After living in Delaware for a year and seeing the DuPont name everywhere, I figured it was time to figure out who they were and what they did. The Hagley Museum and Library were incredible ways to do this. The museum itself is very well organized, with entertaining, interactive exhibits. I was impressed by the quality of the different videos... More

Go on a warm day and plan to spend several hours if not entire day. Many different areas to explore with shuttle buses to take you around the area. A good family attraction with much to see and do. The small bistro serves very good food at a reasonable price if packing a lunch is not possible. Many picnic tables... More

Best kept secret. Fun for our whole family (kids are 5 and 7 years old). This is a beautiful museum with many activities for adults and kids. The grounds are beautiful. This is a local treasure that chronicles one of America's great families, the DuPont's.

Pick a beautiful day and walk and ride their bus along the Brandywine River in Dupont's 1800's home and Gunpowder manufacturing site. Original buildings and restored interiors greet the whole family. Small children get to touch in some restricted places but the rest of the family can see and hear from top rate guides what it was like to be... More

Got my first visit to the Hagley, which is the original manufacturing location of black powder in the 1800's by E.I.DuPont. The beginning of the history of DuPont. The remaining facilities are well preserved, the grounds are fantastic, and I was totally blown away by the machine shop. WOW!! This is definitely worth a stop. Especially in the warmer months....

This place is great for all ages. It provides a history lesson for those not familiar with Delaware or the DuPont's, but is not boring. Tours of the other buildings are great and seeing how things operated is pretty cool, not to mention it is on a beautiful stretch of the Brandywine. I highly reccomend this for anyone visiting or...
