Outside Philadelphia lies the Brandywine Valley, a beautiful region with rolling hills, farms, equestrian ranches and amber-leafed maples in the Fall. Beginning with the arrival of William Penn in October 1682, Heritage of the Brandywine Valley tells a captivating narrative of the area's 300-year history where statesmen, inventors, soldiers and artists helped to create the America we know today. Through stories of the Lenape Indians, early settlements, conflicts, grist and powder mills, the Underground Railroad and world-changing events, you'll meet E. I. du Pont, William Darlington, Bayard Taylor, Gilbert Cope and others - going 'behind the scenes' exploring their fascinating lives and achievements.
