St. Joseph's on the Brandywine RC Church, part of the CDOW (Catholic Diocese of Wilmington), located in the Greenville / Wilmington, DE 19807-zip, at the SW corner of the intersection of Routes 141 and 100, just north of Route 52 (Pennsylvania Avenue, Kennett Pike) as it enters Greenville, DE, anchoring what Wilmingtonians call "Chateau Country," less than a half-mile from Hagley Museum on the Brandywine River, where E.I. du Pont in 1802 launched the Du Pont Company, which became a center for the Family landholdings, homes and estates. Also worth visiting nearby are Hagley Museum, Christ Church (Episcopal), the University of Delaware Wilcastle (Wilmington) Campus where the Goodstay Building houses the collection of the Lincoln Club of Delaware, the Delaware Museum of Natural History, Winterthur an American Country Estate, and Longwood Gardens. |
