Volunteers spend time beautifying the grounds around the Chads Ford Historical Society’s Barn Visitors’ Center.
The Chadds Ford Historical Society relies on volunteers for most of its activities, but Saturday was a little different. The activity then was more about beatification than historical education. The society applied for, and with the help of Team Toyota in Concord Township, received a $2,000 "Love Our Byways" grant offered by the National Scenic Byway Foundation. ...
At least some parents in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District are feeling frustrated and even a little disrespected with the U-CF School Board since the board went back to Zoom-only meetings.

Memories of Sept. 11, 2001 are strong with state Rep. Craig Williams. Williams, R 160, was an attorney living and working in New York when the attacks came. He shared some of those memories — along with a challenge to treat people better — with a small crowd that gathered for the annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony at Brandywine Battlefield Park on Saturday evening. ...
The bang and the boom returned to Chadds Ford Saturday as the Chadds Ford Historical Society commemorated the 244th anniversary of the Battle of Brandywine.
