About this place

A nonprofit museum in Wilmington that explores American innovation through patent models and historical artifacts. The main exhibition, housed in the visitor center, displays more than 120 scaled patent models from the 18th and 19th centuries, showing inventions across transportation, manufacturing, food preservation, and medicine. Families can spend about half an hour on a self-guided tour, test their knowledge of inventors, and hear stories from people across different backgrounds and countries. The museum also includes the gunpowder mills founded in 1802 and the du Pont family home, which can be explored with admission.
