About the Exhibit
The DuPont Company produced almost half of the gunpowder purchased for use by the Union forces during the Civil War. Hagley’s exhibit, “An Oath of Allegiance to the Republic: The du Ponts and the Civil War,” explores the roles played by several du Pont family members, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., and the local community in response to the Civil War. It also delves into their involvement at the state, national, and international levels in resolving the most devastating conflict Americans have ever seen. On Saturdays in the months of February and March, you can see this exhibit for only $1, or for free if you are a member.
