During the American Civil War, a temporary "Camp DuPont" was established on the grounds. First established May [[1861]], the camp was home to the Fourth Regiment, Delaware Volunteer Infantry from June through October [[1862]], whence they moved to a camp of the same name near Kennett Pike (now Route 52). The remustered First Delaware Regiment then camped here in February [[1864]], following a 30-day furlough before returning to active service for the Union side in Virginia.  The camp was named in honor of Rear Admiral Samuel F. DuPont.
