Bike and Hike at Hagley
Bike and Hike
Month Held: Wednesdays in July and August
Sponsorship: $1,500
($2,000 to also include Hagley’s Creek Kids sponsorship)
Description: Hagley’s Bike and Hike evenings are perfect
for family fun, a romantic picnic and stroll, or an invigorating
workout. Bike and Hike is held every Wednesday evening in
July and August, weather permitting, from 5 to 8 p.m. Cost is
$2 per person.
Visitors have access to the entire three-mile loop from the
Visitor Center to Eleutherian Mills, the du Pont ancestral
home. There are many paths to accommodate everything from
training wheels to ten speeds and casual walkers to serious
hikers. Visitors can wander through the old powder yard,
follow the narrow-gauge railroad tracks to the Birkenhead
Mills, stroll under the Iron Bridge and past the DuPont
Company’s 150th-anniversary marker. For a more intense
workout, there is the route that climbs uphill past the Soda
House and beyond the Library building and loops around the
E. I. du Pont Restored Garden.
Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy at
Hagley along the Brandywine River. Hagley’s “Easy Does It!”
exhibit will be open for youngsters to explore simple machine
technology. Kids of all ages can figure out how gears, levers,
and pulleys help to pedal, lift, work, and play in this handson
exhibit.
Sponsor Receives: Name on event program, on news
releases, and in Hagley’s annual report; fifty passes
