Wawaset Park

Wawaset Park is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. Originally, the area was used for fairs and horse races, and then in 1918 the Du Pont Company hired architect Edward L. Palmer, Jr. to build a tranquil neighborhood for employees. Many of the earliest houses were small single-family homes, though a few duplexes were available. Though Du Pont workers lived here for a number of years, the homes later housed families who worked for different companies in the area. In 1986, the National Register of Historic Places recognized the neighborhood as a National Historic District. The Inn at Montchanin Village sits on Montchanin Road, and its historic design blends in nicely with the surrounding homes and businesses. Potential guests can reach the hotel at (302) 888-2133.
