Hagley Museum

Hagley is the former industrial site of the original black powder works of the DuPont Company, founded in Delaware in 1802. Once powered by the natural resources that surrounded it, the gunpowder works today sits amid 235 acres of wooded rolling hills along the rushing Brandywine River, and features hundreds of stone remnants of the gunpowder industry, dozens of restored buildings associated with the business, and the first du Pont family home built in America. Here, for more than 200 years, the DuPont Company and family experimented, innovated, and pursued the American Dream. Most of Hagley’s buildings are accessible for persons with disabilities but not all historic structures can accommodate wheelchairs. A bus that accommodates wheelchairs makes regular runs throughout the property and wheelchairs are available in the Visitor Center.
