We were looking for a local winery to visit before going to Longwood Gardens and I’m so happy we found Penns Woods! We were there on one of the first days reopening after Covid and the winery has done a wonderful job in adapting to the state requirements. We booked a tasting, which was held outside in a pavilion. They had a seating every few hours and the group (at socially distant tables) all went through the tasting together. We tasted 5 wines and the hostess talked about each one as we tasted. For our $25 tasting fee, we had 5 generous samples (much larger than a normal tasting), an individually packaged snack tray, and the full size wine glass to keep. I would definitely return!

Locked in an authentic colonial room as a Revolutionary War Spy for the Americans, you have to decipher a mind-boggling series of clues, find the key and the secret battle plans and escape. Groups up to 8 For all ages. Said to be intermediate difficulty.

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.

This site marks the spot where the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brandywine was fought.
Reviewed By jimsZ2896HZ
This was the Gettysburg of the American War for Independence. Full of drama, bloodshed and near destruction of the Continental forces. Start at the visitor's center. Get the big picture. Lunch at Hank's Place by the river where Washington met the British army's feint. Then travel north along the river to the Birmingham Meetinghouse -- site of some the fiercest fighting of the war. Then amble south, passing rolling fields where the flanking arm of the British army marched down on Washington's exposed flank. See if you can find Sandy Hollow -- where Lafayette was wounded trying to rally American troops -- and a hodgepodge of patriots, militiamen and Continentals somehow managed to hold off the best troops of the British army (and the world) -- saving Washington's army to fight for freedom another day.
