Gabrielle AnneAugust 11, 2013Gorgeous property, awesome learning opportunity. House is beautiful, but tours need a lot of interpretive updating. Worth the visit though for the gorgeous creek side trails with mill ruins.- Delaware Tourism OfficeMay 3, 2011Beautiful, 235-acres along the Brandywine River. Spend some time in the Hagley Store. It features a unique selection of books, gifts, and children's items for the season.
