Visiting Nemours Estate in Wilmington Delaware
Visiting Nemours Estate was an interesting experience. You get to see beyond the glamorous front compared to touring famous European destinations. The French neoclassical mansion exhibits what wealth looked like in the early 1900s in America.
The home of Alfred I. DuPont has 105 rooms total, so it was impossible to see everything even if they opened up the whole mansion to the public. However, you get to see a few significant rooms where they lived and some guestrooms to give you ideas of what life was like for them. Beyond that, you also tour the other essential parts of their home, like the kitchen, ice maker room, central vacuum control room, gym, bowling room, etc.
It was eye-opening to see the technology back then and how things were possible hundred years ago.
