Saw a DuPont estate in Wilmington. Nice 3-4 hours including good lunch
Bingo!
Winterthur, Long Wood Gardens, Nemours and the original estate on the Brandywine.
So much history relevant to any right thinking American.
Where did gunpowder come from and who made it, helping is win how manh wars?
The single largest collection of American furniture, china, flatwear and objects in the world, with a garden so beautiful and natural looking, you’d never know it’s sculpted and not natural.
Longwood. I could live there and in that crappy cottage just fine.
Nemours? Opulent.
Kalmyrr Nyckel
Churches
DE museum.
Chadds Ford.
DE is deep and wide with historical places
Also love Old New Castle. Had my first cup of Wassail there and made the connection as to what that silly song was about, when I was growing up.
It’s a drinking song.
But the history of New Castle is incredible.
There’s also Pea island, though it’s not all that close to Wilmington.
Favorite restaurants was the Golden Dove diner and Harry’s Savoy.
