Where is
Brandywine Valley? I cannot
say exactly as this is something I am learning as I explore the mid-Atlantic
region. The Brandywine
Valley area is a watershed area and consists of at least Delaware and Chester
Counties, Pennsylvania.
Why do I care about trying to define the location of the
area? Because I am learning
that there is much to do and see in that area and I am trying to give clear
directions and good references for more information. Initially, I tried to divide the area
and attractions into two counties: Chester and Delaware. But I could not determine which county
Longwood Gardens was located in. On
the internet, it almost seems as though both counties lay claim to this amazing
botanical garden.
So, I will from now on refer to this area as the Brandywine
Valley.
We have taken many drives through this area. We have
made several stops at the Brandywine
Art Museum. I highly recommend that you put it on your list of places to
experience. Andrew Wyeth was an amazing artist and if you aren’t familiar
with him, I think that you should be.
I recently discovered Longwood Gardens and I have discussed it in an earlier
blog entry. I won’t go into details again since you can read my original
article for yourself. But I will say that this is an enchanted place and next
time I go, I will plan to spend the entire day.
In addition to these two amazing points of interest, I have
now added the following to my list of places to see in the Brandywine Valley
area:
*The Chester County
Covered Bridges Trail
*Local
Wineries
To compile your own list of attractions and event to see,
these are two sites that will be of much help Brandywine
Valley and The Brandywine.
They have similar names but are two different sources of information.
Stay tuned in order to learn more about the Brandywine Valley area as I have
opportunities for further adventures. Or you can follow me on my Mid-Atlantic
Travel with Dawn Rae facebook page.
If you have traveled this area, I would love to hear from
you.

This looks like an interesting place to visit. I love to photograph covered bridges so that part is especially interesting to me. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMary Beth, I thought of you when I saw that information about the covered bridges. I thought I remembered them also.
DeleteI loved you article on Longwood Gardens and I definitely look forward to reading the Brandywine Art Museum article (which I am about to do next.) Brandywine Valley always looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteLike Mary Beth, I am checking out those covered bridges. Thanks for providing us with so many great travel options. Botanical gardens are always enchanting places for photographers.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed joining you virtually through your tour of the Brandywine Museum and the information about Andrew Wyeth. He's one of my favorite artists. I sent that info to my daughter & son-in-law (both artists who greatly admire Andrew Wyeth). I know they would enjoy very much the Brandywine Art Museum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight that you are exploring your region. And the finds you have uncovered are truly treasures. Looking forward to seeing more of you Mid-Atlantic discoveries!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. I look forward to you visiting these places with me.
