[edit] Early History
The Longwood Garden was originally purchased from William Penn in 1700 by a fellow Quaker named George Pierce. Although it started as a working farm, in 1798 Joshua and Samuel Pierce planted the first specimens of an arboretum. By 1850 they had amassed one of the finest collections of trees in the nation.
Industrialist Pierre S. du Pont, (1870–1954) purchased the property from the Pierce family in 1906 to save the arboretum from being sold for lumber. From 1906 until the 1930s, du Pont added extensively to the property. A world traveler from an early age, du Pont was often inspired to add features to the garden after attending world's fairs, the most notable additions being the massive conservatory complete with pipe organ, and the extensive system of fountains.
After the completion of the fountains, du Pont began planning for the sustained life of Longwood Gardens after his death. He founded the Longwood Foundation in 1937, and in 1946 the foundation was chartered with running Longwood Gardens for the general education and enjoyment of the public.
