The Brandywine: An Intimate Portrait Lecture and Book Signing

Thursday, November 6, 6 p.m.

This new book traces the rich vein of history in the region, from original European settlement to the Battle of the Brandywine-the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War-to the establishment of First State National Monument on its banks in 2013. Available in the museum shop and online, the book is richly illustrated with seldom-seen historical photographs, paintings and drawings.

Author W. Barksdale Maynard will discuss this fascinating story in an illustrated talk followed by a book signing and reception. The Museum will open at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets available online by calling 610.388.8326.

$20; $15 for Brandywine members
