36 Hours in the Brandywine Valley
Today swaths of the Brandywine, just a couple of hours from Manhattan and close to Philadelphia, seem little changed from that era. 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.
