Hagley is the former industrial site of the original black powder works of the DuPont Company founded in Delaware in 1802 and powered by the natural resources that surrounded it.

    Great visit
    Wonderful informative visit. Buses ran often and staff were very organized about getting us on the bus and scheduling a house tour. Great guides and information, beautiful setting and house tour. Would highly recommend. We were there about 2 1/2 hours and felt like we saw everything very thoroughly.

    Interesting History of Early Industrialization
    My husband and I had a great day at Hagley! It was so interesting to see the 19th century gunpowder factory along the river and learn about the early history of industrialization in the US. We were quite surprised to see that some elements of the factory were still operational- including the repair shop and the grinding/mixing machine. Our guide even set off some gunpowder! The History of Patents museum was fascinating; we just wish we had had more time to study the models and read the informational signs. Plan more time than you think you'll need!

    Great visit with fun and educational demos
    We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the different areas on this 225 acre Estate and gunpowder mill. So much history and great demonstrations that really helped me understand how things worked during the time the mill was operational. I was amazed that everything works and looks great and was used from 1803 to 1958. We did a walking tour with Susan which included the powder yards. So much interesting information and it was great being able to ask questions. Take the tour. The docents in the house were all so helpful and friendly. We were there 4 hours so you know we really liked our visit to Hagley.

    Great Staff, Very Interesting History.
    I was taken here as a child and always enjoyed it but really didn't appreciate the History. Very interesting the Staff is great. It was a very hot day when I went and there were very few people there. I had a couple of the tours solo, just me and the Guide. Make sure that you see the Machine Shop, it's all Water Powered and they will run it for you. The House is also very interesting. Highly Recommend.
    Thank you for your 5-star review of Hagley! We're glad you visited with a new appreciation as an adult. It's great you braved the heat and got to experience some time as our exclusive guest. We hope you come back soon.
