## Caption

Spring at Eleutherian Mills feels like stepping into a painting. The wisteria has bloomed for the season and now spans the stucco walls of the historic du Pont family home. The original site of the company’s black powder operation, hagleymuseum is now a mix of pristinely-kept history and stunning French gardens.
.
This was my first visit to the #hagleymuseum, and I will undoubtedly be back. It was a gorgeous morning with some early clouds followed by midday sun, creating the mix of visual styles you see here. Special shout out to Bob, our phenomenal tour guide of the historic home. Throughout this week, I will be posting interior photos as well as captures of the rest of the grounds.
