Stretching from Wilmington's Rodney Square to the Delaware-Pennsylvania State Line, the Brandywine Valley National Scenic Byway is an excellent way to explore the beautiful Delaware countryside while learning about the area's history. There are several historic buildings to be seen in Rodney Square itself, and once you leave Wilmington, you can stop at a number of different museums, landscaped gardens, and well-preserved country estates filled with antique furnishings and beautiful artwork. The road is just over 12 miles in length, but if you plan to make any stops, the trip typically takes around one hour.
