PARK UPDATE: We’re open! Brandywine Battlefield Park is once again open to the public. We’re glad to welcome visitors back to enjoy the grounds, museum, and exhibits. Please note: Ring House Tours remain unavailable at this time. We’ll provide another update once tours are able to resume. Thank you for your patience and continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the park!
Notice of Tour Adjustment:
Due to an active yellow jacket infestation in Washington’s Headquarters, the 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM tours will be replaced with gallery talks in our museum. Visitor safety is our top priority, and we are taking every step to resolve the issue promptly. We hope to resume regular tours on October 3 and 4.
