Winterthur, Delaware
Winterthur Museum was begun in 1927 by Henry Francis duPont. Woodwork from old houses from New Hampshire to North Carolina was acquired and installed in his family home, which remained his residence until 1951.
The house at Winterthur was built in 1839 and additions have been made until today it contains 100 period rooms. It is believed to be the largest and richest assemblage of American decorative arts, especially furniture, ever brought together. (Closed Sundays and Mondays)
