Delaware

My current fellowship is for visiting institutions in the Philadelphia area, apparently that extends down to Wilmington, Delaware. Today I went there for the first time, that's another state off my list!

I went to the Hagley library to look at some of their Lavoisier stuff. I was lucky enough to get a ride down with one of the CHF fellows so we didn't stop for souvenirs but I did save the money it would have cost to hire a car or catch a train and taxi.

The library and archives are spread across a couple of buildings on a few acres, which used to be the DuPont gunpowder factory. Now it's a nice park with an industrial museum.
