Explosion at a DuPont Powder Mill

4/19/2023 8:02:00 AM

by Dave Tabler

If you build your house near a gunpowder mill, bad things are eventually going to happen.

Charles and Ann DuPont found out this truth the hard way on a sunny day in April 1847. Listen, as Ann recounts the horrors of the day...

If you like this short clip, keep an eye out for my forthcoming book "Delaware from Railways to Freeways." Dupont and Delaware history: can't tell one without the other.
