About Brandywine Museum of Art

The Brandywine Museum of Art shows American art in a converted gristmill, Hoffman's Mill, built in 1864, and opened as a museum in 1971. The collection centers on the Wyeth family, with work by N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, alongside American illustration, still life and landscape painting. Guided tours go out to the N.C. Wyeth House and Studio, the Andrew Wyeth Studio and Kuerner Farm. The museum also holds an O-gauge model train display with about 2,000 feet of track.
