Hagley occupies 235 acres on the Brandywine River, a National Historic Landmark site with examples of early American industry. Historic buildings, daily demonstrations, and self-guided tours in a beautiful, natural setting combine to create a unique indoor/outdoor museum experience. Hagley provides an incomparable opportunity to discover the power of innovation from a diverse group of people.
