[Illustration: HAGLEY MUSEUM—WILMINGTON, DELAWARE]
The Hagley Museum portrays early American industrial history by showing
the industries which flourished along the banks of a single stream—the
Brandywine. This stream with its varied enterprises was representative
of America’s early industrial effort, and it played an important part in
the growth of the nation.
The Museum building was constructed in 1814. Exhibits open to the public
carry the story of the Brandywine from the days of Indian culture
through the du Pont family’s first powdermaking operations. (Closed
Mondays)
