  • Join us for a tour of Brandywine Battlefield, the site of the largest one-day engagement in the American War of Independence! The core of the massive, 10-square mile battlefield is only a small state park, just 50 acres. But on this tour we'll take you outside the boundaries of the state park to surrounding sites that are also open to the public. We'll visit Kennett Square, the Chadd's Ford river crossing, Washington's headquarters, Birmingham Hill and more!
    And if you haven't seen our epic, 4-table Brandywine wargame yet with the American Battlefield Trust, be sure to check that out next!

    Excellent explanation of the Battle of Brandywine. My wife & I lived in Kennett Sq for a couple of years back in the early 90’s. We often would visit and hang out in the park. I was totally unaware of the other battle sites & the Kennett Connection. It’s a gorgeous area. Our one negative memory was my wife’s car was stolen while we attended a movie at the Painter’s Crossing shopping center at the intersection of 202 & Rt 1. It was taken to a chop shop in Wilmington Delaware.

    Banking is the root cause of Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams effort for the Continental Congress. What statehood is a tax burden in liberty and justice the question. The security of the banks of the colonies must provide adequate trust and the surrounding area of operations. This lead to the resulting conflict of interests, as the letter of request: Declaration of Independence. This video is a great representation of Pennsylvania state heritage and the accuracy of historic record. Thank You.

    Wow! Looks like that grass hasn't been cut since I was there 5 years ago! (see 12:50 onwards) 8-)
    I have a photograph of that field piece (which i recently referred to when painting a 10mm scale version) and the grass is short and the view uninterrupted.

      A popular question! We are currently in the middle of the 5th and final turn of the Pyrrhic War campaign. Patrons have been getting regular updates and know where the campaign stands right now but we'll be putting out an update video for everyone on TH-cam as soon as it wraps. And of course, eventually we will have a fully edited, multi-part series covering every action and battle in the campaign. There have been several major engagements so far....
