Evidence of the tribe's existence is found in quartz spear points that have been discovered on and around the property and can be found on display in the Peirce-du Pont House on the Longwood Gardens property.
The Orchid House was packed with five hundred fragrant plants in full bloom, rotated from Longwood’s collection of more than 5,000 orchids. Each plant has a sign to identify it.

A popular custom of the Chrysanthemum Day festival is to drink sake with chrysanthemum petals in it. [2] [3] Another tradition is to lay cotton wool over individual chrysanthemum blooms to soak up the dew overnight.

When the festival opened it was originally known as the Fall Festival. In 1963 the Chrysanthemum (mum) was also added to the festival's name.
