Gorgeous property, awesome learning opportunity. House is beautiful, but tours need a lot of interpretive updating. Worth the visit though for the gorgeous creek side trails with mill ruins.

Steve Rich

Superb displays of DuPont and American industrial development and innovation. The docent historical tours are professional quality.

If you're visiting Hagley , you've GOT to see the Millwright Shop -- very cool nineteenth-century equipment powered by a network of gears, pulleys, leather belts, and axles.
