Winterthur Reflecting Pool
This pool was originally the swimming pool for the house but they later changed it once the house became a museum. You can see a bit of the house peeking out on the hill above.
View large to see the reflections!
We spent a wonderful weekend in Wilmington, DE visiting Winterthur and then Longwood Gardens for a night time fountains & fireworks show. It was a delightful weekend even though we had a few showers now and then.
We enjoyed a tour of part of the house (it has 170 rooms!) and grounds and an exhibit about forgeries of antiques and art that was very interesting.
The grounds are magnificent and there are so many enormous, old trees. Many of the trees were well over 100 feet high and hundreds of years old. The land has been placed in a conservancy so it cannot be developed in the future.
