Guide to the Brandywine Valley (West Chester, PA and Wilmington, DE) - A Visit to American Royalty, the DuPonts

Curated by
Robert Huie
You would never think that the Brandywine Valley area, which consists of West Chester, PA, Kennett Square, PA, Wilmington, DE and more, would be a destination of choice. I didn't think so either. I am a fan of American society, think du Pont, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt. Home to what I deem as a part of one of the great stories of American royalty history, the Brandywine Valley spans across the state of Pennsylvania and into Northern Delaware. If you have ever visited the Biltmore in Asheville, NC, you will enjoy the homes and gardens that the du Pont family built. The gardens are some of the most grand gardens you will ever see, and the homes provide a peek into American society and royalty. The Brandywine Creek Valley area is easily accessible, being less than an hour from Philadelphia, PA and a 2.5 hour drive from Washington, DC.

Eastern Shore, MD, Middleburg, VA, Washington, VA, and Rehoboth, DE are my go-to's. You can always use an escape from the city. Fortunately for you, there are plenty of options.

Pack up the car and take a road trip; whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family getaway, there are plenty of options.
