Brandywine River Museum of Art
The Brandywine River Museum of Art is home to a renowned collection of American art. Housed in a nineteenth-century mill with a dramatic three-story steel and glass addition overlooking the Brandywine River, the museum presents an incomparable setting for important works of art by leading nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists, most notably that of three generations of the Wyeth family. Also on view are signature works by artists such as William Trost Richards, Howard Pyle, Horace Pippin and Thomas Sully, as well as selections from the museum’s renowned holdings of American illustration. Visitors can explore the connections between art and life on guided tours of the Andrew Wyeth Studio, the N.C. Wyeth House and Studio, and the Kuerner Farm (April through mid-November).
Brandywine Conservancy
The Brandywine Conservancy (www.brandywine.org) preserves the land and water of the Brandywine watershed for the community through source water protection, farmland preservation, and work with local governments. It has permanently protected from development more than 59,000 acres in Chester and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania, as well as New Castle County in Delaware and holds more than 400 conservation easements, most from landowners who wanted to save their property’s natural, scenic and historic resources. The Conservancy was among the first land trusts in the country to be awarded accreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.

Are you looking for a good place to adopt a pet?
In searching for an animal shelter from which to adopt your pet, you may want to look for a NO KILL shelter. (Some places take the animals for so long and then euthanize.) If your dog (or cat, perhaps) is appropriately tempered for pet therapy, you may want to take the volunteer training for a pet therapy program together. Faithful Friends and Paws for People both have good programs.
These shelters are expensive to run, so raising funds and finding good volunteers are always a major priority.
Here are just a few links to no-kill shelters, but you can also go online and search within your geographic area for one near you. Local pet supplies stores are happy to help you find a shelter, too.
