Its 350 square miles, including rolling hills, manicured estates and the sparkling Brandywine River, offer visitors a seductive trip through history. Here George Washington and his Continental Army faced British General William Howe in the Sept. 11, 1777, Battle of the Brandywine — a key battle of the war and a stinging defeat for the Americans. These days, one can canoe down the river, past the banks where Washington placed his troops and visit the house in which he prepared for the battle. Minutes away are the perfectly preserved estates that became the symbols of young America’s rise to global industrial power in the early part of the 20th century. Among them is the French-style Nemours Mansion that Alfred du Pont built, and Winterthur, an estate that Henry Francis du Pont filled with exquisite Americana. Other clans, too, have left their mark. 8 a.m.4.

But you can devise ways to minimize the cost. Since summer tends to bring out the explorer in all of us, we've compiled a list of ways to eliminate roaming charges and minimize your data usage while traveling abroad. 1. Turn Off Data Roaming The European Commission recently voted to end roaming charges by 2014, but until then it's important to turn off data roaming on your phone when traveling outside your network. Roaming occurs when you use your cellphone on a network that does not belong to your provider. If you want to access the Internet on your smartphone when traveling abroad, consider enabling Airplane Mode on your phone. If you have an iPhone, open Settings and turn Airplane Mode "On." 2. Does your phone alert you instantly when you have new mail? If you have an Android, go to Settings > Accounts & Synch and turn off Auto-Synch. 3. Android is a little trickier. 4. 5. 6.

Skeleton of the Week, May 13: St. Notburga in Eben, Austria | Empire de la Mort St. Notburga is the most impressive articulated and dressed skeleton in Austria. She is the patron saint of the poor and domestic servants, and is displayed at the Chapel of St. Rupert in Eben, Austria, where she wears a fine white gown and golden necklace with a medallion of a heart. Above her right hand hovers a golden sickle. Unlike most of the other skeletons I have profiled here recently, Notburga’s remains did not come from the Roman Catacombs. She then entered the service of a master in Eben, on the condition that her work not be allowed to interfere with her attendance of church ceremonies. A cult developed around her after her death in 1313. The book Heavenly Bodies by Paul Koudounaris, a history of skeletons taken from the Roman Catacombs, will be released Fall 2013 by Thames and Hudson.
