Activity Overview
A 40-minute drive from Philadelphia to Chadd's Ford, Pennsylvania will lead you to pastoral, rolling hills and the Brandywine River, where the Brandywine River Art Museum is housed in a renovated 19th century mill.
Things To Do:
From April through mid-November, take a shuttle bus to the studios of N.C. and Andrew Wyeth, where guided tours are provided.
Meander through the galleries and find hundreds of works by 19th and 20th century American artists, many inspired by the countryside surrounding the museum itself.
Featured in particular are the works of the Wyeth family - N.C. Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, and, most importantly, Andrew Wyeth, who has been labeled one of America's most famous painters.
