HSR President Phyllis Rodgers sends this short review of our recent trip to Winterthur Museum.
On Friday, December 5, thirty-nine HSR members and guests enjoyed a Holiday excursion to Winterthur Museum in Wilmington, DE.
First treated to a guided tour of the Historic Dupont Mansion, all were enthralled with the spectacular furnishings and Holiday décor.
After a leisurely lunch and visit to the outstanding gift shops it was time for the much anticipated viewing of the Costumes of Downton Abbey.
The vast variety of the collection from the hit series did not disappoint as samples of clothing from the upstairs and downstairs characters made one feel as if they were visiting with the actors themselves.
All made for a perfect day with good weather, good company, and a memorable Downton experience.
Downton Abbey returns for its fifth season starting Sunday, January 4th.
If anyone who went can send more photos, I will gladly include them. JMc
