gardens

I love Longwood Gardens and Winterthur. I know that Longwood is in Pennsylvania, but it is extremely close to Delaware. The Nemours mansion and gardens are also stunning.

There is a museum that focuses on American enterprise which is in the former DuPont gunworks and is in a lovely setting along the Brandywine river. I had to look up the name it is the Hagley Museum.

I also enjoy the oldest continuously running theatre in the United States, Delawarer Theatre Company. The Grand Opera House.

Tons of things packed into a very small state.
