For our nature lovers! Winterthur Museum and Garden is home to more than 1,000 acre preserve of rolling meadows and woodlands. Henry Francis du Pont opened his childhood home, Winterthur, to the public about 60 years ago. Today, Winterthur is the premier museum of American decorative arts. This collection is displayed in the magnificent 175-room house, as well as in permanent and changing exhibition galleries. Since you will be our guest for the wedding just mention the Heath/Kirk wedding and you will gain free access to the entire museum, library, estate, and garden for the whole weekend!
