The Tour of Winterthur of Du Point

The Commission for Women at Penn State Lehigh Valley organized a bus tour to Winterthur for a day trip on Saturday on Nov. 8. It was a beautiful day. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the gardens and houses, my colleague and I felt like we were the ladies taken back in time, as we jokingly addressed each other as ladies when we were waiting to embark on the tram tour.

Then there was the Costumes of Downton Abbey exhibit at Winterthur. I was quite surprised to learn of people's immense interest in the Downton Abbey TV series.

The tour was finished with a high tea at the DuPont Country Club. It was a great outing, I'd say.
