Volunteer of the Year 2025 - Dwayne Fisher
by BBPA, Dec 30, 2025
We are honored to recognize Dwayne Fisher as our 2025 Volunteer of the Year.
Dwayne began volunteering at Brandywine Battlefield Park in the fall of 2024 and has been a steady presence in the Visitor Center ever since. He greets guests, answers questions, and helps create a welcoming first impression for everyone who walks through the door. His easygoing manner and reliability made him part of the team right away, and he’s someone we know we can count on. Whether he’s assisting visitors or handling the day‑to‑day needs of the shop, he contributes in ways that make a real difference. We appreciate the time and effort he puts into supporting the park.
Excellent Educational Resources
