Published in September, Chadds Ford: History, Heroes and Landmarks describes the events, people and attractions that have made tiny Chadds Ford one of the most widely recognized places in the Brandywine Valley. Written and photographed by Carla Westerman, this pictorial guide explores how Chadds Ford evolved from a colonial crossroads caught up in the Revolution, to a thriving village and artists’ enclave renowned as home to the Wyeth family, to its present-day reputation as a picturesque locale rich in historical and cultural attractions.
The 80-page book retails for $9.95 and features an historical overview and tourist information for Chadds Ford’s historic sites, artistic legacy and community events;
58 color photographs that showcase Chadds Ford’s scenic beauty, cultural heritage, popular events and notable people plus three maps; quotes by residents past and present that evoke Chadds Ford over the years. This delightful keepsake book will appeal to visitors looking for something to remind them of their trip and enhance area residents’ appreciation and understanding of Chadds Ford’s special heritage.
