Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
You can almost hear the cannon fire as you stroll through the rolling green hills of the Brandywine valley, where in September 11, 1777 George Washington and the Continental Army fought British General William Howe and suffered a crushing defeat. What was then an American army encampment is today the site of the Brandywine Battlefield State Park. Brandywine Battlefield State Park covers 52 acres and includes the house of the local farmer Benjamin Ring, which served as George Washington’s headquarters. Today the museum offers visitors the opportunity to walk through the rooms where Washington spent some of his darkest moments. The museum holds many objects from the battle such as cannons, maps, uniforms, and guns and offers visitors a 20-minute video about the Battle of the Brandywine.
