Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

The antiques are amazing. The Dupont Mansion was decorated so beautifully for Christmas, it was breathtaking. We had afternoon tea at The Cottage Tea Room and it was so special and very delicious. We had a delightful day!

Beautiful grounds and museum as designed by an ingenious and talented naturalist. Open to the public for a nominal fee thanks to the generosity of the duPont family.

09/15/2019We visited to see the wonderful exhibit for The Crown series and also walked the peaceful grounds and enjoyed an excellent, informative, and interesting house tour. The DuPont family had superb taste and sense enough to preserve history, and so much of it is on display here. It's very beautiful and ornate here, much like a smaller scale version of something like the Biltmore estate in Asheville North Carolina. More...

Great antiques and gardens-really beautiful. Great grasp of history of wealthy white people. Feature exhibitions seem to appeal to a very specific demographic, but they are well organized and attractive.

Been here twice - lots to see even if you don't pick one of the tours. Gardens, onsite cafe, gift shop, and even a shuttle. Great place for people who love history, art, or nature. On the second time I was there they were even having a vintage car show. You can easily spend a day here! More...

One of the most amazing places to visit in Delaware. I usually go here at least once or twice a year and it's just relaxing to walk through to see the gardens and water pools that are hidden through out the grounds. Even the forest will entice you to walk through it with many hidden gems to see! More...

Above all, I appreciate the acres of mature specimen trees that people with money and sense decided to plant and preserve so that we have nice things now. Also, the mowing and maintenance that allows us to stroll around the grounds from one Abies to another. I feel like I missed out on azalea season and wish I could drop by during the spring. Service is a bit dotty and spotty but they seem to be doing their best. More...

From the moment you drive through the rolling hills, to meeting the lovely and knowledgeable information staff, to the friendly and helpful bookstore and museum store staff, to the shuttle drivers who made you feel like home, to the passionate tour guides of the house, current exhibit, and the tram tour of the grounds - Matt, we knew that this place was special and would do our best to share it with others. A breath of fresh air in the country. And tour guide Matt, you did an outstanding job. I was laughing almost the entire time as I appreciated the time you put in to master your craft. Well done to you and the entire staff! More...

When I first went there, I thought it was just an over the top example of ostentatious wealth. After I learned more, I appreciated it more. After Mr. DuPont saw some other museums of Americana he wanted to turn his house into a museum that gave examples of the best of American art and architecture from different periods. He greatly expanded the house, not so much to live in but to house the collection. He not only collected paintings and furniture and other decorative arts, he also brought in rooms of historic homes that were being demolished and recreated them in Winterthur. It is really quite impressive and a bit intimidating because of its size. You could spend a couple of days there and not see everything.The grounds are also worth exploring. More...

Somehow, even in the blistering heat, our Garden Guide, Terry, was fabulously cool, calm, collected and gave us a a truly outstanding tour of the estate. SO grateful for this oasis of beauty in our midst and for Terry and all the garden guides who grace the property with their expertise and finesse. More...

The grounds are bucolic! You can walk through fields, woods, and gardens in quiet solitude. It is my go to walking location when the meadow trails are wet and muddy at Longwood Gardens. The Museum is fabulous as well.

I've been to Winterthur many times, but today was special. several friends joined my family to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday at the Enchanted Woods. A bevy of little ones and their mommas had a wonderful time. You might not know that Winterthur allows picnics on the grounds, but its perfect for a simple birthday party! More...
