The Woodlands Presents A Daytrip to Wonderful Winterthur - May 5th

More than fifty years ago, Delaware native Henry Francis duPont began welcoming visitors to his childhood home, Winterthur, to see its magnificent gardens and view his amazing collection of decorative arts and architecture.

There’s a lot to do – pick what you’re interested in – at your own pace.

In the mansion, explore American history through the spaces, stories, and objects that shaped the nation. Discover the enduring influence of colonial American architecture, an unparalleled collection of decorative arts, and the transformation of a private estate into a museum devoted to preserving and interpreting the American experience.

Winterthur galleries highlight America’s history, cultural heritage, and design through objects from the museum and library collections. Featuring furniture and objects collected by Henry Francis du Pont as well as those acquired by the curators since the museum’s founding in 1951, these spaces provide opportunities for close observation, careful study, and appreciation of craft, style, and historical significance.

You can take time to visit the gift shop and the gardens.

We’ll have lunch at The Visitor Center Café (at your own expense), before returning home.
