Two displays in the Eleutherian Mills Residence showcase rarely shown du Pont family objects from Hagley's collections.
These items will be on display through September 1, 2025. They are included with admission and are accessible by stairs.
Coming To America Display - The du Pont family arrived in America 225 years ago. Each object symbolizes an event from the family’s life in France, their journey to a new country, or their early years along the banks of the Brandywine.
Du Pont Family Weddings, 1813-1942 - Wedding gatherings in the early nineteenth century—when the du Pont Family first arrived in the United States—were usually small, intimate affairs held in the bride’s home, with family and close friends in attendance. The wedding items in this display were handed down from generation to generation. Some pieces were worn by the descendants of the brides; some were worn by, or belonged to, residents of Eleutherian Mills.
