Delaware East East Coast Eastern Estate Factory Mansion Manufacturing Mid Atlantic States Mill Wilmington 1809 Dupont Explosives Gunpowder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the rich history of the United States, specifically Delaware's Wilmington. The image showcases The Hagley Museum, a site of immense historical significance as it was once home to the first Du Pont gunpowder factory. Established in 1809 by E. I. Du Pont himself, this pioneering facility revolutionized manufacturing and explosives production. Intriguingly, nestled within this expansive estate is Eleutherian Mills, an elegant mansion constructed in 1803 that served as Du Pont's residence. This architectural marvel stands tall as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of its time. The photograph beautifully portrays the essence of America's East Coast with its picturesque surroundings and charming buildings. It transports viewers back in time to witness the birthplace of one of America's most influential industrial families. As we delve into this visual narrative captured by Walter Bibikow for Discover Images by AWL, we are reminded not only of our nation's remarkable past but also how far we have come since then. This image serves as a reminder that travel destinations can be more than just tourist attractions; they can be windows into our shared heritage
