Are you interested in Hagley behind the scenes? Do you delight in working with visitors? We are looking for a team of active Volunteers to assist Guides in leading themed walking tours of Hagley with new and different perspectives. These are all-weather events held outside so appropriate attire is required and an ability to walk on uneven terrain. Held on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. tours last 90 minutes and Volunteer 3-hour shifts begin one hour before tour start time. Detailed job descriptions are available for each tour and training is provided. Take an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the black powder process. Try your hand at graining some powder and don’t miss the explosive finish! Tour involves walking on uneven ground.

Mission Statement
Hagley Museum and Library collects, preserves, and interprets the unfolding history of American enterprise. Hagley is located on 235 acres by the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware.
Description
Located on 235 acres along the banks of the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware, Hagley is the site of the gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802. This example of early American industry includes restored mills, a workers' community, and the ancestral home and gardens of the du Pont family.
Hagley's library furthers the study of business and technology in America, especially the Middle Atlantic region. The collections include individuals' papers and companies' records ranging from eighteenth-century merchants to modern telecommunications and illustrate the impact of the business system on society.
The Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society organizes and administers the Hagley Museum and Library's interaction with the world of scholarship. It brings attention to Hagley's research collections and generates intellectual dialogue at Hagley.
