History - Art - Gardens - American Castles - Culture
"The Brandywine Valley is nestled amidst the rolling hills of southern Chester County, PA, where the Battle of Brandywine was fought and northern New Castle County, DE, where the paper was milled for the Declaration of Independence and America's first currency. Here is where the duPonts made their fortunes and built their mansions and where three generations of Wyeths have lived and painted the landscapes and people of Chadds Ford. We invite you to visit and be charmed." TheBrandywine.com
