Museums and Galleries in Chester County
Very few countryside destinations can claim such a strong concentration of world-class museum within minutes of each other. The Brandywine Valley contains many exquisite museums and gardens rivaling major metropolitan areas. The philanthropy of the du Pont family has left the legacies of Hagley, Nemours Mansion and Gardens, Winterthur, and of course, Longwood Gardens.
Other museums in Chester County, the Brandywine Valley and beyond include the American Helicopter Museum, the largest museum in North America dedicated to rotary wing flight, the Chester County Historical Society, and the Wharton Esherick Museum – Wharton Esherick being widely considered as the Dean of American Craftsmen. And, not to forget, the Brandywine River Museum, often referred to the Wyeth Museum, features paintings by three generations of Wyeths and much more.
