brandywineDelaware County has one of the Northeast’s most prized art attractions in Chadds Ford, where the display of art by the Wyeth family continues to impress people near and far.

Travel writer Martha Steger detailed her Chadds Ford weekend immersion “in the arts and sites showcasing works of the Wyeth family and the Brandywine School artists” in a Richmond Magazine feature.

The collections at the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art were a clear highlight of the trip to Chadds Ford.

“The N.C. Wyeth House & Studio, the Andrew Wyeth Studio, and the Kuerner Farm are refreshingly unmanicured — especially the farm, where Andrew Wyeth found intriguing subjects for hundreds of tempera paintings, watercolors, and drawings for more than 70 years.”
