Montchan occupies a wooded stretch of the Brandywine Valley in northern Delaware. Brandywine Creek, whose waterpower drove the mills that shaped this part of the state, runs nearby through rolling countryside north of Wilmington. Hagley Museum and Library preserves the site of the du Pont family’s original gunpowder works, founded along the creek in 1802. Close by, Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is the former home of collector Henry Francis du Pont and holds a major collection of American decorative arts.
