History can sometimes feel like something that happened a long time ago and has nothing to do with our lives today. However, local events can make the past feel much more real. In the week of Brandywine will take place at the Brandywine Battlefield Park on October 3. The event will give visitors an opportunity to learn about the revolutionary war and what life was like in the Brandywine Valley after the battle of Brandywine. Through demonstrations, activities, and historical displays visitors can see how the war affected people who lived in the area.
