Art Loop Wilmington
First Friday West Chester
You have driven up and down Creek Road "a thousand times" and have never stopped to visit the Christian Sanderson Museum?
Starting Sunday, 3 March, from noon to 4 PM, join us for "First Sundays" in 2024. The box by the front door is the Bean Pot, so drop in a bit to help a 100% volunteer organization. Do it either when you come in or after you are amazed by what Chris Sanderson collected over his lifetime. He was a teacher, musician, historian, lecturer, radio broadcaster, tour guide, friend of the Wyeths, and more.
Can't afford it? That's OK. We want to see you anyway. Our volunteers will be there to answer questions and tell you a bit about Chris and the Sanderson Museum.
Bring as many as you want (call us first if you are bringing a bus!).
Leave a message at 610.388.6545 or email us at [email protected] or see our website at www.sandersonmuseum.org.
