Continuing with my photos from this year’s Christmas display at Longwood Gardens – today I’m sharing my photos from du Pont House. This is where Pierre and Alice du Pont from 1906 – 1954. At Christmas, the decorations at du Pont house tend to be a little more understated and elegant than those in the Conservatory.
There is always a magnificent tree in the entry to the house.
