Wilmington, DE<\/h1>\n

If there\u2019s an area that is over-endowed with fabulous gardens and magnificent mansions, it would have to be the Brandywine Valley and Scenic Byway. Just north of Wilmington, the area and its visual riches will take your breath away. It did ours. For more information, visit visitwilmingtonde.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0 Nemours Mansion and Garden\u00a0 <\/b>You\u2019ll only be minutes away from <\/b>downtown Wilmington, but you\u2019ll feel like you are in another part of the world here at Nemours Estate<\/a> (850 Alapocas Dr, Wilmington, DE 19803; (302) 651-6913.)\u00a0 This is the home of inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Alfred I. duPont.<\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

The 47,000-square-foot home, referred to as the \u201cgrandest house in Delaware\u201d is pure French in design, with 77 rooms and fabulous gardens.<\/p>\n

Much to the dismay of his renowned architects, DuPont selected a heretofore unknown local builder to build this prestigious mansion. It was done without contract \u2013 with just a handshake. Construction of the home took only 18 months, but the builder stayed on for another ten years, building additional structures around the estate.<\/p>\n

\"Nemours<\/p>\n

Built in 1909, the home was completely restored 100 years later. \u00a0Before any restoration could start, 110,000 original DuPont pieces were cataloged and shipped out for storage. That took a mere 49 truckloads and five months to clear the home.<\/p>\n

Now, with everything restored, down to the custom-woven draperies, and with the estate open to the public, the home fulfills DuPont\u2019s insistence that the estate be \u201cmaintained for the pleasure and benefit of the public\u2026\u201d and that it \u201cbecome more beautiful and attractive to those who view it as time passes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Photographers will want to take their cameras as there is so much to capture, and thankfully, the foundation does allow photography, just no flash.<\/p>\n

Dozens of rooms are open to the public, and while the antiques are stunning on the first and second floors, I was captivated by DuPont\u2019s inventions in the basement. Be sure to get a docent to explain this area to you if possible. Shuffleboard, bowling, billiards anyone? They were all available to DuPont and his guests.<\/p>\n

\"Billiard<\/p>\n

\"Basement

DuPont’s office was also found in the basement<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Shuffleboard<\/p>\n

\"Bowling

Duckpins and ten pins could both be played in the basement alleys<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is limited availability to view the mechanical areas of the basement, but today they still are as impeccably maintained as they were in DuPont\u2019s time. He believed in redundant systems for safety, so you\u2019ll find doubles of many of the mechanical and electrical hardware here. Engineers will really appreciate this space.\u00a0 Write tours@nemours.org<\/a> to see if you can score a viewing.<\/p>\n

\"Mechanical<\/p>\n

\"Mechanical

Many of the mechanical features in the basement were DuPont’s own inventions. In all, he obtained 200 patents.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Mechanical

Dual furnaces made sure Nemours was never without heat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Outside, the 300-acre estate features the largest formal French gardens in the U.S.\u00a0 Stunning iron gates to the right and left, lead to both the southern gardens and the 18,000-gallon water tower. \u00a0Proceed straight out to \u201cThe Long Walk\u201d down cascading urn-lined, bluestone terraces, to the 800,000-gallon reflecting pool with fountain.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss a stroll behind the mansion to the Chauffeur\u2019s Garage. It\u2019s a garage like none you\u2019ve seen. Complete with machine shops for custom made parts, the garage holds many of the historic vehicles owned and used by DuPont.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Open early May through the end of December\u00a0(with fabulous Christmas displays) each year, this estate alone would be worth the trip to Wilmington, Delaware\u2026.but there\u2019s more.\u00a0 In our next article, we\u2019ll explore the arts, flora, as well as great places to stay and eat. Stop back next Thursday.<\/p>\n
