The Brandywine Battlefield Park is lovely and a nice place to visit, see the houses and picnic. But actually the park is not on the land where the battle was fought. It was north of the park. It has not been preserved and is in grave danger of being lost. The park was set up when the whole area was farms. I'm way behind about what's going on with the battlefield area but as far as I know it is unfortunately being developed, fast. There was a big push several years ago to let the politicians and public know about this and to try to set up a program to save as much as possible. Marge Green > P.s.
