"Creating Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library" with Jeff Groff

On April 20, 2022, the Society was honored to host Jeff Groff, Winterthur's former Estate Historian, who gave a fascinating lecture about the early history of the estate and the beginnings of du Pont's collecting. This talk takes us through Winterthur's transformation into an expansive house filled with historic architecture and collections, complete with a notable American naturalistic garden, a prize-winning herd of dairy cows, and after 1951, an outstanding library on decorative arts and design.

Enjoy!
