BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

Louise du Pont Crowninshield (1877-1958) was the daughter of Col. Henry Algernon du Pont and Mary Pauline Foster and sister to Henry Francis du Pont. On June 28, 1900, she married Francis Boardman Crowninshield. They lived in Boston and at Eleutherian Mills near Wilmington, Del. Louise was active on church and charitable committees, and as an ardent gardener, she was a member of many horticultural organizations. Interested in historic preservation, she restored the du Pont family house at Eleutherian Mills, collected antiques, and belonged to many historical societies. During the Truman administration, she was on the committee to redecorate the White House. Louise was a founding trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1949 and was vice-chairman of the board in 1953.
