Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest. - Lady Bird Johnson

Winterthur

I just got back from a weeks vacation with my wife visiting my brother-in-law and his fiancé in New Jersey. One of our destinations was Winterthur, an American country estate and former home of Henry Francis du Pont. It is a beautiful 1,000 country estate located in Winterthur, Delaware and has a large mansion containing over 85,000 antiques and objects. Its library is a recognized research center and has a large collection covering America's artistic, and cultural history from colonial times into the twentieth century. If you ever get out that way I recommend a visit to Winterthur. http://www.winterthur.org/
