Chris Sanderson Museum Fundraiser

The Sanderson Museum is a tribute to the life and collection of one man, Christian C. Sanderson. A private non-profit organization founded in 1967, the year after Sanderson’s death, the Museum contains thousands of artifacts pertaining not only to local Chadds Ford history, but to American history as well. This juxtaposition of local artifacts and those of countrywide significance puts a small town man’s life into a national context.

Monday, November 12             6-8 p.m.                       Dual Location

Join us for a less formal and fussy fundraiser for the Sanderson Museum.  Brandywine Prime is cooking up some nice little snacks (see below), and a cash bar.  All we and the Sanderson Museum ask for is a “donation” of $20 per person, or $30 per couple.  Please RSVP to michael@brandywineprime.com.  This event does not have a formal start or end time. Pop in, have a snack, grab a drink and walk over to the museum.  RSVP’s are appreciated but not required.

In addition to the food, fun and beverages, the museum will be open that evening for a tour to showcase some things that the curator says most people have never seen:

1. The potato harvest excuse from school note

2. The badge for being a player in the Old Fiddler's picnic in Parkesburg

3. A sketch of Chris by Andrew Wyeth as a "thank you" for his help on a project

4. The Battle of Brandywine Sheet map that Chris carried in his brief case

5. Picture of Chris as plane spotter in WWII

6. pieces of planes that crashed in West Chester

On top of that, there will be a raffle that you can only enter at the museum.  The museum is located behind Brandywine Prime on Creek Road.

The prizes include:

• A cocktail party at Brandywine Prime for up to 25 guests.        Brandywine Prime will donate the food and private room, beverages and gratuity are not included. Friday and Saturday evenings are not available for this event
