One of them is the DuPont Hagley Museum - found at hagley.org - in reference to dates and history of the company through the DuPont Company on the Brandywine Project - an interactive look at the history of the DuPont Company black powder works that operated along the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware, Delaware from 1803 to 1921.
In addition - there are two short videos on YouTube worth watching on the subject of Powder Town - entitled du Pont Iowa Powder Mills 1 & 2 - produced by Ed Vinson. They are both older videos, but Ed did a great job highlighting and giving information about the town and Mill.
