Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library
Collector and horticulturist Henry Francis du Pont (1880–1969) childhood home, Winterthur, (pronounced “winter-tour”) is the premier museum of American decorative arts, with an unparalleled collection of nearly 90,000 objects made or used in America between about 1640 and 1860. Winterthur is set amidst a 1,000-acre preserve of rolling meadows and woodlands. Designed by du Pont, its 60-acre naturalistic garden is among America’s best, with magnificent specimen plantings and massed displays of color.
Winterthur is the organiser of the Annual Delaware Antiques Show.
