The Brandywine River Museum in Philadelphia, situated inside a 19th century grist mill, is a museum of regional and American art. The museum is internationally-acclaimed for its collection of artwork by three generations of Wyeths - N.C., Andrew, and James. Carolyn and Henriette Wyeth,

daughters of N.C., are also represented in the collection.

The Brandywine River Museum's primary emphasis is on the art history of the Brandywine Valley, on American landscape and still life painting, and on illustration.

It houses more than 3,000 works on art in the museum and in the home and studio of N.C. Wyeth, located on the museum property.

Visitors can also travel to the Kuerner Farm, the inspiration for many of Andrew Wyeth's paintings

and enjoy the Wildflower Gardens, featuring indigenous and naturalized plants of the Brandywine Valley.

The museum is easily reached from Philadelphia via Interstate 95 and the area around Chadds Ford, located just north of the Delaware border, is chock full of history.
