Brandywine Valley Scenic Byway
Gibraltar Mansion and Gardens, DE
After purchasing Gibraltar in 1909, Hugh Rodney Sharp and his wife Isabella du Pont Sharp built the du Pont mansion of today. It features an exquisite formal garden with a pavilion, statuary, and plants collected from trips abroad. One of America’s best known female landscape architects, Marion Cruger Coffin, designed the restored garden.
