HOME IS WHERE THE
THE BRANDYWINE VALLEY HAS LONG BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO ARTISTS. FROM THE FAMED WYETH FAMILY OF ARTISTS TO WHARTON ESHERICK, A WOOD SCULPTOR KNOWN AS THE “DEAN OF AMERICAN CRAFTSMEN,” CREATIVE GENIUSES HAVE CALLED THE BRANDYWINE VALLEY HOME AND LEFT AN ENDURING ARTISTIC LEGACY. TODAY, THIS HERITAGE IS BUILT UPON BY PHILANTHROPISTS, COLLECTORS AND HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS STILL WORKING AND THRIVING HERE.
