Brandywine River Museum of Art

The museum, housed in a 19th-century grist mill near Chadds Ford, includes the Howard Pyle School collection and significant holdings of American illustration and landscape art. The museum's setting on the Brandywine Creek evokes the terrain of the 1777 battle — the creek, its banks, and the rolling hills of Chester County are essentially unchanged in character. N.C. Wyeth's paintings of the Brandywine region provide a visual vocabulary for understanding the landscape.
