Celebrate the Yuletide season with fellow members and friends of the Susquehanna Valley NKBA Chapter at the beautiful Winterthur Museum just outside of Wilmington, DE. If you are a first time visitor to Winterthur you are in for a treat. This one-of-a-kind holiday experience will take you through rooms in Henry Francis du Pont’s former home decorated in full holiday splendor. This year's highlights includes several trees inspired by Christmas trees seen at the White House, in conjunction with the exhibition, Jacqueline Kennedy and H. F. du Pont: From Winterthur to the White House. Many displays are inspired by the traditions and festivities of the season as enjoyed by du Pont and his family.

Your ticket includes the self-paced Yuletide tour, the garden, garden tram (weather and space permitting), the self-guided Galleries and the Campbell Collection of Soup Tureens. We ask that you meet the group at the Visitors Center at 10:30AM to collect your admission ticket. 

About Winterthur

Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library is an American estate and museum in Winterthur, Delaware. Pronounced “winter-tour," Winterthur houses one of the richest collections of Americana in the United States. The museum and estate were the home of Henry Francis du Pont (1880–1969), Winterthur's founder and a prominent antiques collector and horticulturist. The museum is filled with historic and decorative objects collected and arranged according to the aesthetic principles of its visionary, Henry Francis du Pont. A passionate collector throughout his life, he transformed his family home into a showplace for objects made and used for centuries, then opened it as a museum to share America's diverse stories with the public. The collection of more than 90,000 objects includes items ranging from the streamlined, functional furniture produced by the Shakers to opulent masterworks of 18th-century craftsmanship. Fine art such as works by America’s greatest early painters fill the rooms, as well as objects newly discovered and understood to be the work of enslaved individuals. Du Pont created spaces where his visitors would be immersed in beauty as well as history.
