All are eloquent witnesses to the extraordinary immigration story that began in 1799 when Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, a French statesman, made the momentous decision to move his family to America.
But the Brandywine Valley is more than architectural wonders. It is also a world of riveting landscapes made famous by Andrew Wyeth’s paintings…charming small towns with galleries and antique shops…abundant cultural and performing arts venues in the city of Wilmington…historical sites…and outdoor recreational opportunities.
Planning a visit to Château Country is as easy as un, deux, trois!
