Foreword by Henry Francis du Pont. Charles Franklin Montgomery (April 14, 1910 - February 21, 1978), was an American curator, art historian, scholar, educator, and museum director. He served as the first director of the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, from 1954 to 1961. After continuing to work at the museum as a senior research fellow, he was a curator and art historian at Yale University from 1970 until his death. In 1949, Montgomery was appointed associate curator and executive secretary of the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum; in 1954, he was appointed director of the Museum. He began teaching courses in Early American Culture in 1952. Under Montgomery's direction, Winterthur's graduate program was the first to offer professional training for careers in historic administration and historic house museums.
