Awesome

This past May 2-4 weekend was one of the best ever. My Wife Laura and I decided we wanted to go on a road trip adventure for our anniversary. We decided on Chadds Ford Pennsylvania. Why? Because it is home to the Brandywine River Museum. What’s so special about that museum? It has some of the best American art that I would ever hope to see in my lifetime. Who made that art? Several members of the famous Wyeth family; N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, plus other members of the Brandywine River School including Frank Schoonover and Howard Pyle(who taught N.C.)
Did I mention its only ten dollars to get in? (or six if you say you’re a student)
All I can say is that if you are interested in even one of these artists, it’s worth the price. If you’re me, it’s a ten dollar tour-de-force.
Plus, if you want to pay an extra five bucks, you can go to the old Wyeth house/studio where the massive family lived and exchanged techniques in being awesome.


This is the outside of the Brandywine Museum. It was a nice museum, inside and out.


This is the Wyeth house, don't you want to go? It was designed by N.C. Wyeth and paid for by the illustrations he did for Treasure Island in 1911! (The original paintings are in the museum)


Here it is, the "barn" studio of N.C. Wyeth, where he worked and trained his students/children. Needless to say, it is amazing inside, complete with prop room full of guns, swords, costumes, farmtools, animal heads and whatnot.

There are too many awesome things about this place to talk about on here. If you get a chance, go.
