Brandywine Valley
The Brandywine River Valley is a little known, but historic and beautiful rural area located near Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. This region holds many pleasant surprises for groups interested in American history and antiques as well as formal gardens. Visit the Hagley Museum, a unique presentation of American industrial life in the 19th century. At
Winterthur, explore the nine-story museum and expansive informal gardens of native and exotic plants set in an elegant country setting. Winterthur is now one of America's largest museums of the decorative arts. Longwood House & Gardens, one of the foremost gardens in the country, features glass-enclosed conservatories and panoramic vistas of brilliant blooms. The Brandywine River Museum in a 19th century gristmill is a shrine to the Family Wyeth and other artists from the region.

| Pennsylvania is rich with history and mystique. Our Pennsylvania tours can be customized to include any of the following locations:

Philadelphia
The United States of America was born in Philadelphia on July 4th, 1776, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The birth of this idea came a century earlier with William Penn's vision of men of all faiths living in harmony and freedom. Thus, Philadelphia represents a major chapter in our history, and is a must for those groups seeking a new awareness of the birth of our nation.
Gettysburg
The Nation Preserved. During the first three days of July, 1863, one hundred and eight-thousand Americans fought each other in the greatest battle ever fought on our soil. From Little Roundtop and Devil's Den to Cemetery Hill, the field of Gettysburg echoes the sounds of the Iron Brigade and Pickett's Charge. A warrior of a different era is identified with Gettysburg. Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower bought a farm here and today it is a national historic site.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country
Lancaster County is the home of the gentle people, the Amish and Mennonites, whose way of life has changed little over the past three centuries. During your tour of this area, you will discover a way of life that is represented not only historically but currently through an existing life style. World famous Pennsylvania Dutch foods, farmers' markets, buggies, covered bridges, shops, hex signs, and working farms are the major attractions throughout the area.
