Description: Explaining why he created 175 period rooms after inheriting his family home at Winterthur, Henry Francis DuPont wrote, "I didn't believe the early-American arts and crafts had been given the recognition they deserved, so I assembled examples of architecture, furniture, and widely divergent early-American materials of all sorts to show America as it had been."
