Property History
Situated on the grounds of Delaware's magnificent 271-acre Bellevue State Park, the Figure 8 Barn is part of what was once a DuPont family estate.
The unique hour glass shape of the Figure 8 Barn was designed by William duPont, Jr. as an indoor horse training facility to further compliment his family's equestrian interests. The estate was purchased by the State of Delaware in 1976.
