The du Pont Family: A Brief Introduction

On Saturday, August 12, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. the Milford Museum will continue its American History Series at the Milford Public Library with a program titled The du Pont Family: A Brief Introduction. Presented by historian Lucas R. Clawson, the program will focus on how the du Pont family has been closely tied to Delaware history from 1802 to the present. However, many people still do not know who they are. How did they come to Delaware and end up running one of the nation’s most prominent chemical companies? Lucas R. Clawson will help answer these questions and discuss the du Pont family and their place in Delaware history.
Sponsored by the Milford Museum, these monthly programs will focus on a variety of topics concerning local, state, and national history. These presentations will be held on the second Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m., in the Milford Public Library. The Milford Public Library is located at 11 S.E. Front Street in Milford, Delaware. For more information, please contact the Museum at (302) 424-1080, info@milforddemuseum.org. These programs are offered through a generous grant from The Delaware Heritage Commission.
