Nestled in the heart of Delaware’s beautiful Brandywine Valley, our extraordinary museum, garden, and library offer a variety of tours, exhibitions, and engaging programs for all ages. We’re known for our magnificent collection of American decorative arts on display through Henry Francis du Pont’s former home and showcased in our permanent and rotating gallery spaces.
One of the world’s great gardens, Longwood’s story is one of legacy, innovation, and stewardship. Our Gardens are a living expression of all that our founder, Pierre S. du Pont, found inspiring, meaningful, and beautiful. From the intricate fountain systems to the meticulous gardens to the architectural grandeur, awe-inspiring discoveries await at every turn.
Stroll along the Christina River on the scenic 1.3-mile Wilmington Riverfront, and you'll pass something for every mood and every taste, from open green spaces to IMAX movie screens, from world-class theater to minor-league baseball ... and dozens of places to eat.
