I am in Wilmington, Delaware on a trip from the pacific northwest. Yesterday we went to Winterthur, the former home and museum of Henry duPont.

Winterthur is beautiful but strange. I visited there some years ago. I can't quite define what makes it so odd but I believe it's because there were different "eras" and aspects of living all combined in one home. Did you get a similar impression?

Hadn’t thought about this until now - the house was like living in a museum and I suppose that was strange. I was so taken by the beautiful things he assembled. Really incredible.

Hard to equate living like that with the way most of us live today.
