DuPont built an explosives plant on the site. Permanent housing for employees was started in 1909 and a "company town" was constructed. The building that houses the DuPont Museum ws formerly the butcher shop and later became the town's city hall. The museum was opened in 1977. The museum will fascinate the visitor with its many books, records, and artifacts from the DuPont Company era, including such items as wooden shovels (spark proof) used at the plant, the machine that packed powder into dynamite sticks, and a display of how dynamite was manufactured. The museum is open on Sunday from 1 to 4. Admission is free. This is just one of the many Historical Museums located throughout Washington.
