This was a really fun spur of the moment afternoon. Really interesting to see how mushrooms grow and learn about the history of Kennett Square mushrooms and especially the Phillips family. Gift shop is interesting and has unique gifts. It was wonderful to purchase a variety of fresh mushrooms to take back to New York! Staff was exceptionally helpful and nice. Definitely a stop to make time to visit! Would go back when visiting near Philly to get freshest mushrooms.

There is something for everyone in this tiny out of the way museum a few steps from Hanks Diner and the Brandywine river museum. Civil war/WWI & II buffs will love the historical artifacts. If you like the Wyeths, there are ORIGINALS here because Mr. Sanderson was friends with the family.
