[] Yeah! Itsa pretty amazing place. I went back to D.C. a few years ago and drove up the east coast and stopped there for about eight hours, Saw some of the house and took the "garden tour" The Duponts had figured out how to live VERRY high on the hog. The place was full of the best of everything, and itsa good thing they gave it for posterity, as most of the country seems to tear down and modernise all the good ole neat stuff without much care for its history. I also saw the Kilmers Swamp root bldg in Rochester, New York, bein restored and turned into shops and such.........

Me too, you just gotta watch out for Matt, he is jealous of Delaware so I gotta defend it. Haha.

My pop went thru the grad program there in the early 60's. This last summer I gave a series of workshop lectures on antique clocks from the south eastern counties of PA. To say their collections are amaizing and extensive is a great understatement. Mr.DuPont bought whole rooms out of houses that were being razed and reassembled them in his mansion. He then furnished each of these period rooms with the best of the best of furnishings from that rooms area and era. It is one of the greatest accomplishments of collecting. He even built a courtyard of several building fronts in a huge room. It's really wild. I've taken 3 dif tours n haven't seen all of it!
