On your way to visit William
Morris Society president Margaretta Frederick at the Delaware Art Museum in
Wilmington, DE, take a trip to Arden, Delaware, founded in 1900 as a utopian
community partially inspired by Morris's ideas. The community has a fascinating

Movement in Philadelphia. Financial support for the project came from the
soap-manufacturer Henry Fels." To learn more visit the website:
