BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Henry Francis du Pont, son of Col. Henry Algernon and Mary Pauline Foster du Pont, was born on May 27, 1880 at Winterthur, De. He attended Groton and Harvard University.  In 1914, he assumed management of the Winterthur Farms and started an active breeding program which resulted in a world renowned Holstein herd.  Du Pont began collecting antiques around 1923 after a visit to the Webb estate in Shelburne, Vt.  The product of his collecting, Winterthur Museum, opened in 1951. At the same time, he took an active interest in horticulture and expanded the gardens at Winterthur.  Du Pont was active on many museum boards and committees.  He served as chair of the Fine Arts Committee for the White House, a board member of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a board member of the New York Botanical Garden, among others.
