Do you enjoy working outdoors in the garden?
Individual volunteers and volunteer groups are needed to plant and maintain the Workers' Garden. This garden is an integral part of the interpretation of 19th Century life on Workers' Hill as it shows what was typically grown in that time period. Vegetables top the list with just a few flowers and/or herbs added in. The Workers' Garden is utilized during our summer youth camps, Summer Industrial America tours, Youth Leadership programs, and special events.
Time commitment: flexible during daylight hours weekdays or weekends.

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.
