Step back into the 18th century as the Chadds Ford Historical Society commemorates the Battle of Brandywine — the largest single-day battle of the American Revolution. Watch twice-daily battle skirmishes and military drills, explore battlefield encampments, and see colonial crafters demonstrate trades like blacksmithing, beer brewing, wood carving, and wool dying. Enjoy live music, food, local beer and wine, plus handmade goods from modern artisans. Kids can join "School of the Soldier" with the 1st Delaware Regiment at 2pm. As evening falls, cannons kick off "Tavern Night in the Grove," a colonial tavern-style celebration with dancing, entertainment, and a toasting contest — pirate garb encouraged!
