About this Outdoor Garden:

Nestled in a frame of clipped arborvitae and towering trees, the historic Open Air Theatre has hosted countless theatrical performances and concerts since it debuted in 1914.

History of this Garden:

Inspired by outdoor European theaters and his love of music and drama, Pierre S. du Pont built the Open Air Theatre in 1914. The Theatre was redesigned and expanded in 1927 to include illuminated fountains set into the stage floor and a 10-foot water curtain at its front. Today, performances of all varieties are presented throughout the summer.
