Reviews
"The usual DuPont quality. In the summer, there is much to see and the grounds are incredibly beautiful and expansive. There is a lot of history here. For Christmas, they thoroughly decorate everything and it’s an excellent holiday experience."
"Great museum with a wide variety of things to see. The property starts in the patent museum which is interesting and full of weird inventions. We didn't spend a lot of time here because we were heading to the house tour first. There are shuttles that will take you up there and you just need to let the staff at the ticket counter know what time you'd like to do it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There are also a lot of buildings on site ranging from old mills to 19th century town to a machine shop that does gunpowder demonstrations. On top of that you have the wonderful views of the river as you're walking around. You could spend a large portion of your day here if you had the time. Overall great place to visit and highly recommended."
"Beautiful site! This place starts off at the main building which is a patent museum displaying the actual models of inventions when people applied for a patent. After that building, you can either walk along the path that guides you through the estate that contains the various buildings that were used in the preparation and manufacturing of gunpowder or take a shuttle that passes by every 15 to 20 minutes. Essentially it's a hop on-hop off shuttle. There is no additional fee for the shuttle. You get to also go through the main house where the family lives and it's just stunning. Everyone there is super knowledgeable and informative. I highly recommend this place. It's extremely affordable and you can go at various times of the year to enjoy either the gorgeous summer landscaping or during the fall to see the leaves turning."
"This is a wonderful museum highlighting the DuPont family beginnings from the early 1800’s after arriving into Delaware. The museum carries many interesting patented inventions. This is a must visit place your entire family will enjoy! Also Hagley museum has special events taking place throughout the entire calendar year. I can’t wait until my next visit!"
