Brandywine River Museum - Collection of American regional and Wyeth family art.

The Christian C. Sanderson Museum:  Visitors here will find a number of Wyeth paintings and sketches, for Sanderson was a close friend of the family. Beyond these, however, the Museum contains few objects d' art -- just all sorts of interesting stuff. A tiny sampling of the more than eight rooms full of Sanderson's mementos includes: a piece of bandage placed on Lincoln, a piece of the bomber that crashed into the Empire State Building, Sanderson's first pay envelope from Wanamaker's store, melted ice from the South Pole, a penny run over by the Lincoln funeral train, sand from the digging of the Panama Canal. School groups and others will be rewarded with the most intimate look at the life of an everyday man who marked his time and ours with the things that the rest of us have missed.
