Item Description
Experience the magic of our 235-acre site on the Brandywine where a visit to the first family residence and a walk through the original DuPont gunpowder mills bring to life an amazing story in American History. Hagley is where the du Pont story begins.
Hagley's library furthers the study of business and technology in America. The collections include individuals' papers and companies' records ranging from eighteenth-century merchants to modern telecommunications and illustrate the impact of the business system on society.
