This stream with its varied enterprises was representative of America’s early industrial effort, and it played an important part in the growth of the nation. The Museum building was constructed in 1814. Exhibits open to the public carry the story of the Brandywine from the days of Indian culture through the du Pont family’s first powdermaking operations.
