Discover Winterthur — A Place Like No Other
Step into the heart of Delaware’s stunning Brandywine Valley and experience the magic of Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. Whether you're here for a day or a weekend, Winterthur is packed with unforgettable things to see and do.
Tour a One-of-a-Kind Museum
Explore the grand former home of Henry Francis du Pont, filled with one of the finest collections of American decorative arts. Wander the galleries and don’t miss the whimsical Campbell Collection of Soup Tureens—it’s a fan favorite!
Wander Through 1,000 Acres of Beauty
Stroll through Winterthur’s world-famous 60-acre naturalistic garden—the last great American “wild gardens”—plus miles of marked trails that wind through peaceful meadows and shady woodlands. Visit in spring to catch the legendary blooms, but every season here is picture-perfect.
Play in a Fairy-Tale Forest
Bring the kids and dive into the magic of Enchanted Woods, a three-acre fairy garden built for imaginative play. Explore the Faerie Cottage, scale the giant Bird’s Nest, or host a tea party in the Acorn Tearoom. It’s a wonderland for children (and kids at heart)!
Included with Admission
Your ticket includes a self-guided house tour, a narrated garden tram ride, and full access to the galleries. Want more? Add-on tours are available—and your ticket is good for two full days!
Celebrate the Holidays in Style
Join us for “Yuletide at Winterthur” from November through early January. Stroll through rooms decked out in dazzling holiday décor, marvel at the 6-foot, 18-room dollhouse, toy trains, and gingerbread creations. It’s a holiday tradition like no other. Don't miss our famous 20-foot dried flower tree, decorated with blooms grown or used on the estate!
