Brandywine Museum of Art
Chadds Ford, PA
A converted mill on the Brandywine Creek showing three generations of Wyeth painters, with a riverside trail outside.
The Brandywine Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, known as the Brandywine River Museum until 2014, is housed in a converted gristmill from 1864 on Brandywine Creek and opened in 1971. The focus is the Wyeth family of painters: the galleries show works by Andrew Wyeth, his father, the illustrator N. C. Wyeth, and his son Jamie Wyeth, along with a collection devoted to art of the Brandywine Valley.
Outside, a tree-lined path follows the creek and a terrace overlooks Brandywine Creek; wildflower and native plant gardens, established in 1974, surround the museum. On guided tours you can also visit N. C. Wyeth's house and studio (built in 1911, about five minutes from the museum) and Andrew Wyeth's studio, which he used from 1940 to 2008. Kuerner Farm, which inspired Andrew Wyeth for more than 70 years, is also part of the program.
You will find the museum at 1 Hoffman's Mill Road. Check opening hours and studio tour dates on the museum's website before you travel.
