2016 ANNUAL REPORT


LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN In her excellent biography of Alexander Von Humboldt (1769-1859) titled The Invention of Nature, Andrea Wulf quotes Humboldt as having said: “Nature every where speaks to man in a voice that is familiar to his soul.” We at the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art are in total agreement with Humboldt. We would only add that great art, like nature, speaks to us in a similar manner. It touches us deeply and in so doing is a profound reminder of the importance of our mission: protecting and preserving art and the environment. It is a mission crafted by Frolic Weymouth, our late founder and chairman who passed away on April 24, 2016, after guiding the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art in his own inimitable fashion since its founding in 1967. Frolic’s visionary and indefatigable work on behalf of the Conservancy and Museum has left us a powerful legacy upon which to build, and build it we continue to do in exciting and important ways. This past year has been one of outstanding exhibitions at the Museum, terrific conservation, stewardship, and municipal assistance work at the Conservancy, and excellent public programs in all of these areas. None of this would have been possible without the hard work of our staff and volunteers. It also wouldn’t have been possible without the generous donation of works of art to our collection, constructive collaboration with our peer organizations, and the spirit of partnership with those who own land protected by our conservation easements. Collaboration and partnership will be keys to the continued success of the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art. Finally, I thank all of our members and patrons. We are lucky to have you at our side. Your belief in the value of what we do and your generous contributions over the years are the reason we are able to pursue our mission which enhances the lives of so many—both in our region and beyond. Thank you so much, Morris W. Stroud Chairman, Board of Trustees

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, We begin 2017 celebrating 50 years of history and accomplishments while taking bold steps towards our next 50 years of vibrant, relevant, and high-impact programming. We hope you enjoy reading about many of the 2016 achievements in this report. You, our donors, trustees, volunteers, and members, have been instrumental to our success. Please come and help us celebrate our heritage through the many exciting programs throughout this year. As exciting as our anniversary is, 2017 also brings us the honor of presenting a landmark exhibition to mark the 100th birthday of Andrew Wyeth this summer, Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect. Looking ahead, we will build on the dynamic growth and exciting momentum in our Museum and the stellar accomplishments of our Conservancy. We are determined to lead the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art onward with our focus on innovation in our fields, collaboration with our peers and community, and mindfulness of the importance of our history. We will continue to blend the best of our heritage and unique qualities with exciting and engaging new programs, relevant to present and future generations of conservation and art supporters. On the occasion of our 50th Anniversary, I offer special thanks to the three men who were our founders, Francis I. du Pont, William Prickett, and of course, Frolic Weymouth. That the vision, charisma, and determination of these young men in their thirties in 1967 led to the distinguished and storied institution we celebrate today is quite remarkable. It is humbling to have even a small part in leading the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art forward. With gratitude to all of you, and especially to Frolic, I pledge to continue with the lessons he imparted close at hand. Keeping focus on our important work, persevering in the face of doubt and long odds, treating each person as uniquely important, blending respect and gentility in our manner with the lasting spirit of whimsy that unites us and carries us forward – we stand ready and eager to honor his legacy in our work for the next 50 years. With gratitude to each of you, Virginia A. Logan The Frolic Weymouth Executive Director & CEO

BRANDYWINE CONSERVANCY The following accomplishments are just some examples of how the Brandywine Conservancy continues to be guided by its mission “to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations.”

Largest-Ever Property Acquisition In February 2015, the Conservancy received a bequest of 1,089 acres of land in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, from the estate of Brandywine trustee and supporter Richard Mellon Scaife. Known as Penguin Court, the property was formerly the country estate of Scaife’s parents. Though it once contained a 66-room mansion and numerous outbuildings, today the property consists of open fields, mature woodlands, and streams, with stunning scenic views of the surrounding Laurel Highlands. The bequest included a generous endowment contribution to fund the long-term care of the property.

Gains in Land Conservation During the last 18 months, Conservancy staff focused their land preservation efforts almost exclusively in the headwaters of the Brandywine Creek. Twelve properties, most of them working farms encompassing 647 acres, were permanently protected through the donation or purchase of conservation or agricultural easements. Two of the newly acquired easements were donated and one was assigned to Brandywine by Pennsbury Township. The remaining nine easements were purchased through a combination of funds provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Chester County, Honey Brook Township, City of Wilmington, DE, Chester County Solid Waste Authority, Open Space Institute, and Mt. Cuba Center, as well as dedicated funds from Brandywine. Of the combined total purchase price for these new easements, for each dollar of internal funds spent, Brandywine leveraged $16 of external funding through grants, donations, and other sources. In addition to securing new easements, the staff worked with five landowners to amend their easements to eliminate the right to construct new buildings, to enhance the natural resource protection language in the easements, or to add land. These amendments resulted in 18 new acres coming under easement protection. We are grateful to the following landowners who granted easements or amended their easements to provide additional conservation benefit: Elizabeth Clark; John A. and Sharon A. D’Amico; Doe Run, L.P.; James H. and Susan H. Geiger; Jo Ann Guiseppe; Shane T. and Theda Lynn Bowers Hadden; Douglas M. Howe;

Easements were placed on 12 properties in the headwaters of the Brandywine, most of them working farms.

Riehl; Richard D. and Sheila E. Sanford; Chester and Rebecca Jane Stoltzfus; David S. and Anna K. Stoltzfus; John R. and Priscilla K. Stoltzfus; and Windurra USA, LLC. By the end of the fiscal year, Brandywine’s portfolio of protected land totalled 40,100 acres, consisting of 470 façade, trail, conservation, and agricultural easements protecting 37,230 acres, and 2,870 acres of land owned in fee title. In addition, Conservancy staff members assisted other land trusts and government agencies throughout Chester and Delaware counties with easement acquisitions and other land preservation projects. This assistance has resulted in the protection of an additional 22,703 acres, bringing the total amount of land protected by the Brandywine Conservancy in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware to an astounding 62,803 acres.

Protecting the Brandywine at its Source In collaboration with partner organizations, Conservancy staff continued to implement a jointly developed plan to protect and restore land in selected focus areas in the Brandywine-Christina Watershed with the goal of improving water quality. Part of the William Penn Foundation’s Delaware River Watershed Initiative, specific projects included preserving farmland through agricultural easements, implementing agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the headwaters, preparing farm conservation plans, designing and planting vegetated stream buffers, and working with local municipalities to adopt riparian buffer ordinances. In addition to substantial grant funding from the William Penn Foundation, support was provided by Mt. Cuba Center, Open Space Institute, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, The Laffey-McHugh Foundation, The E. Neale Dockstader Foundation, Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. In the headwaters in Honey Brook Township, Conservancy staff worked with individual landowners to help improve agricultural practices on their properties, such as controlling manure and other pollutants, minimizing the loss of valuable topsoil, and preserving and restoring water quality. Staff prepared or arranged for funding for seven new farm conservation plans and provided technical and funding assistance to implement dozens of agricultural BMPs, including stabilized stream crossings, stream bank fencing, barnyard restoration and stormwater management systems, manure storage management facilities, and streamside tree plantings. 5


Modeling Exemplary Stewardship The Land Stewardship staff continues to demonstrate exemplary management of the Conservancy’s protected lands. Staff conducted an annual visit to each of the 1,400 parcels of land subject to Conservancy-held easements to ensure compliance with the preservation restrictions. In addition, detailed property condition reports were produced for more than 60 eased properties and 52 plan reviews were conducted for proposed structures and improvements on eased lands. In early 2016, an abandoned fence line that was a remnant from the King Ranch’s ownership of the property was removed from the Laurels Preserve. Overgrown with mostly non-native vegetation, the area was cleared and re-seeded with native grasses. As a result, there are now 215 acres of contiguous meadow, greatly enhancing the suitability of this habitat for grassland-nesting bird species. In recognition of its outstanding land preservation and stewardship efforts, the Conservancy received the 2015 Conservation Award from the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology. Specific mention was made of our work in and around the former King Ranch lands, which have extensive and excellent grassland habitat supporting a variety of birds that are not widespread in the region. The Preserve Stewardship Volunteers contributed more than 300 hours of labor on the Conservancy’s properties, removing invasive plants, planting trees, and improving trails. Their enthusiastic support and hard work allows staff to accomplish large-scale restoration projects in addition to routine property management.

Municipal Assistance Program – From Municipal Planning to Greenways The Conservancy’s Municipal Assistance Program (MAP) staff was quite busy with a number of planning, regulatory, and in-the-field projects, including several for the Brandywine Greenway. This is a 30-mile long conservation and recreation corridor that follows the creek from the Delaware state line to its headwaters in northern Chester County. Twenty-four municipalities in two counties have partnered with the Conservancy to establish this Greenway and identify important projects. Funding for this initiative has come from the William Penn Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the Chester County Board of Commissioners. As an example of Greenway success, in mid-2015, a steering committee of local landowners and businesses facilitated by MAP staff and a landscape architecture consulting firm presented the Chadds Ford Township Board of Supervisors with a Master Plan for the historic village. This Plan was designed to be consistent with the Board’s vision of Chadds Ford village, which is the Greenway’s southern hub. As Route 1, a fourlane divided highway, cuts the village in two, this Village Master Plan recommended improved access and walkability through reduced highway speeds and other traffic calming measures, and a second traffic signal at South Creek Road’s intersection with Route 1. An extensive sidewalk and trail network was also proposed for the village, along with traffic circulation changes for some streets, and a plan for signs and wayfinding. Preliminary engineering design for Phase I components of the Village Master Plan will get underway in early 2017. The newly planted Monarch Migration Station on the Brandywine’s Chadds Ford campus provides habitat for migrating butterflies.

At the far northern end of the Greenway, Honey Brook Township and Honey Brook Borough adopted a Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Plan in July 2015. Both municipalities are active partners in the Greenway. After a year and a half of joint task force meetings facilitated by MAP staff and funded primarily through a Chester County planning grant, these two municipalities took the bold step of implementing a long-range plan with individual and common planning goals. This plan reflects an ideal scenario in Chester County—pairing a rural/agricultural township with a well-established Staff and volunteers planted the monarch migration station to feed migrating butterflies. borough. Through coordinated planning, the township can retain its rural character and agricultural economy, and the borough can increase its economic and social vitality. In early 2016, these two municipalities again formed a joint task force to update their zoning ordinances, with technical assistance provided by MAP staff and funded through a County planning grant. These municipalities are presently working together on a public trail feasibility study with MAP staff using funding raised through the Brandywine Creek Greenway initiative. As part of the Conservancy’s Brandywine-Christina Cluster project, MAP staff worked with colleagues from the Natural Lands Trust to offer free technical assistance with local regulatory updates to municipalities in the watershed. Using the model riparian buffer protection overlay district developed by the Conservancy on behalf of the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association, seven municipalities in the Brandywine and White Clay Creek watersheds were able to increase the protection and restoration of forested riparian buffers along their streams and around ponds and wetlands when development is proposed. MAP staff updated its model buffer ordinance with guidance from The Stroud Water Research Center and West Chester area attorney Fronefield Crawford Jr. Thanks in part to a generous grant from The E. Neale Dockstader Foundation, MAP staff have partnered with the White Clay Creek watershed coordinator to offer limited technical assistance and funding support to residents of the Pennsylvania portion of the watershed who want to establish rain gardens, rain barrels, and other “green” stormwater improvements on their properties. In New Castle County, Delaware, MAP and GIS staff provided technical mapping and other assistance to the National Park Service staff as they plan for the long-term management and operation of the new First State National Historical Park. The Conservancy’s Subscribers Program for local municipalities, watershed associations, design professionals, and others helped to educate Subscribers about timely land use and environmental topics through the publication of seasonal e-newsletters. They also held evening lectures and Saturday workshops with guest speakers, including a well-attended primer on land planning, zoning, subdivision, and other topics for newly elected municipal officials. With the organization’s 50th Anniversary in 2017, the Conservancy looks forward to building on its history of land preservation and municipal planning success. Ellen M. Ferretti Director, Brandywine Conservancy 7


BRANDYWINE RIVER MUSEUM OF ART The Museum offered a stellar program of exhibitions, beginning with Jamie Wyeth, a major retrospective organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition examined six decades of the artist’s career and charted the evolution of his creative process from his earliest childhood drawings to current work. Thematically arranged, the exhibition included portraits made during his time in New York along with landscapes of Chadds Ford and Maine. The exhibition was accompanied by an extensively illustrated catalogue and traveled to two additional venues. Pointed Pens, Comic Commentary in American Cartoons, organized by Virginia O’Hara, curator of collections and coordinator of curatorial affairs, featured a fascinating collection of 30 works created between 1880 and 1945, selected from the Museum’s rich collection of American illustration. It included cartoons by some of America’s most famous illustrators of the period, including Charles Dana Gibson, Rube Goldberg, Rockwell Kent, Thomas Nast, Rose O’Neill, and many others. The first major exhibition of the artist’s work in over 20 years, Horace Pippin: The Way I See It examined one of America’s most renowned artists and introduced his powerful aesthetic and subtle social commentary to a new generation. The exhibition traced Pippin’s vivid subject matter, from intimate family moments and floral still lifes to powerful scenes of war, history, and religion. Organized by Curator Audrey Lewis, the exhibition of 65 paintings was assembled from museums and private collections across the country and was accompanied by a fully illustrated scholarly catalogue. The 2015 decorative arts exhibition, Plus Ultra: Moravian Tiles of the New World, displayed a remarkable series of tiles designed in 1912 by Henry Chapman Mercer for a private home and produced at the Moravian Pottery and Tileworks, which he founded in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Organized by Amanda C. Burdan, associate curator, with loans from the Moravian Pottery, the exhibition included the tiles in their original continuous format. The ground-breaking exhibition, Things Beyond Resemblance: James Welling Photographs, presented a selection of 50 photographs from a five-year series by the conceptual artist, centered on the life and work of Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009). Organized by guest curator Philipp Kaiser, the exhibition explored the influence of one artist upon another across time and media. The Museum commissioned Gradients—Welling’s first site-specific sculpture installation—for display on the grounds of the James Welling (b. 1951), Sycamore, 2010, archival inkjet print on rag paper, Museum and its historic properties.

intersection of photography and sculpture, extending the visitor’s experience of Welling’s work beyond the walls of the Museum. The exhibition was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. A selection of Andrew Wyeth’s watercolor and pencil studies highlighting the beauty and intricacy of nature’s designs in fragmented views and isolated forms was shown in the exhibition Natural Selections: Andrew Wyeth’s Plant Studies. Rarely seen by the public, these works offered a remarkable opportunity to discover Wyeth’s Artist James Welling held a master class for students from area colleges and universities. creative process and his astute observations of nature’s beauty. Virginia O’Hara curated this visually compelling exhibition. A stunning array of over 40 paintings from the New-York Historical Society’s collection by renowned Hudson River School artists, including Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, Albert Bierstadt, Jasper Cropsey, John F. Kensett, and William T. Richards, was on view in The Poetry of Nature: A Golden Age of American Landscape Painting. The Hudson River School is considered the first uniquely American art movement. Some of these painters traveled to the Brandywine, creating a fascinating connection to this major American art movement that helps to put the Museum’s outstanding collection of landscape paintings in a broader context. Dr. Linda S. Ferber, director emerita of the New-York Historical Museum, was curator of the exhibition. New Terrains: American Paintings from the Richard M. Scaife Bequest presented over 25 important works of American art from the Pittsburgh philanthropist and former trustee of the Brandywine. The exhibition featured paintings by artists who are new to the collection, such as Hudson River School painters Martin Johnson Heade, John F. Kensett, and Albert Bierstadt and works by American Impressionists William Merritt Chase, Edward Redfield, Julian Alden Weir, and others. This bequest represents a milestone in the Museum’s collection of American art. In April, the Museum paid tribute to its chairman of the board of trustees with the small memorial exhibition, George A. “Frolic” Weymouth (1936-2016), in a display of his landscapes and portraits. Heir to the Brandywine school of artists, which he greatly admired, Weymouth’s tempera and watercolor paintings revealed his interpretive view of the regional landscape and people that he knew. A major retrospective of Weymouth’s work is planned for 2018. The 2016 decorative arts exhibition, Flowery Thoughts: Ceramic Vases & Floral Ornament at Winterthur, treated visitors to a stunning selection of objects from the Winterthur Museum collection. These high-fashion pieces were made in the 1700s to 1800s and were produced in America, Europe, and Asia. The exhibition was organized by Leslie B. Grigsby, Winterthur’s senior curator of ceramics and glass. 9


Imagine Brandywine, the Museum’s ongoing exhibition of children’s art, presented work by students from seven area schools, exploring thematic connections to the Museum’s collection, temporary exhibitions, and Conservancy projects. Participating schools included Avon Grove Charter School, Avon Grove Intermediate School, Friendship Elementary School, Harlan Elementary School, Strath Haven High School, Sun Valley High School, and Upland Country Day School.

Accessions to the Museum collection The Museum’s holdings of works by the Wyeth family of artists was strengthened by key works acquired through gifts and purchase. Anna B. McCoy donated four works by her father, John McCoy, including two portraits Jimmy (1934) and Mita (1935), an interior titled Studio Still Life (1934), and a landscape titled Early Spring (1935). She also donated Peter Hurd’s Pennsylvania Farm (The Farm at Craig’s Meadow) (1934), a painting of the McCoys’ Chadds Ford property. M. Robin McCoy donated Study for Tom Clark (Green Pastures) (ca. 1950), by her father, John McCoy. N.C. Wyeth’s oil painting, Trappers (ca. 1925), was donated by Jane Pyle Bartholomew, who acquired the painting from the artist as a wedding present in 1943. She also gave an untitled work by Peter Hurd that depicts a house that N.C. Wyeth rented when he first moved to the village, as well as a rare 1940 calendar reproduction image of Andrew Wyeth’s watercolor Marshall Point Light. N.C. Wyeth’s oil painting, Roaring River (ca. 1924), created for a novel by William McLeod Raines, and a first-edition copy of the book, were donated anonymously. A sketchbook of anatomical studies (1965-1966) by Jamie Wyeth was donated by Robert J. Demarest, who facilitated Wyeth’s access to cadavers at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia Medical Center, New York. The Sanctuary-Adams Brook (ca. 1880), an oil painting by Herman Herzog featuring a woodland scene in northeastern Pennsylvania, was donated by Ray and Elizabeth Forrest. Prince Philippe and Princesse Françoise de Chimay, a trustee, generously gave Sycamore, a photographic image by James Welling.

Accessions to the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Research Collections The Research Center acquired numerous materials essential for curatorial research on Howard Pyle and the Wyeth family of artists. These included late 19th- and early 20th-century periodicals featuring illustrations by Howard Pyle donated by his great-grandson, Nicholas Brokaw. Donald Altmaier, a former student of Carolyn Wyeth, donated several periodicals, exhibition catalogues, and ephemera related to the Wyeth family. Two letters by N.C. Wyeth, in which he expressed some of his views on modern art, were given anonymously. Tony Curtis, a literary scholar in Wales, donated letters from Andrew and Betsy Wyeth that discussed his poems inspired by Wyeth’s paintings. Peter and Patricia Wells donated photographs of Royal Lacey Scoville and his family that complement their gift in 2005 of drawings by Scoville that he created for his daughter. Denys McCoy, a documentary filmmaker and son of Ann Wyeth and John McCoy, gave a copy of his video, Island Funeral, inspired by N.C. Wyeth’s painting of the same name. He also donated film clips that he compiled from Wyeth family home year was filled with dynamic family programs, including wire walkers who crossed movies from the 1920s through 1940s.

Duff, former Brandywine Conservancy Executive Director, gave photographs and architectural drawings relating to Dr. Margaret Handy’s residence in Chadds Ford, which she donated to the Brandywine Conservancy, and two Museum posters that she owned signed by Jamie Wyeth and by Mrs. N.C. Wyeth. He also gave a copy of his biography of Dr. Handy.

Public Programs Audiences of all ages participated in a variety of multi-disciplinary education and public programs during this 18-month period. In 2015, adult programs served 2,172 people in 39 programs, and from January to June 2016, 1,158 people participated in 38 programs. The Jamie Wyeth exhibition offerings included two sold-out conversations with the artist, special tours to the Museum’s historic properties highlighting Jamie Wyeth’s personal connections to these sites, and Victoria Wyeth speaking for the first time about her uncle’s art in two sold-out events. Horace Pippin: The Way I See It presented opportunities to reach wider audiences and raise the Museum’s profile, with 17 multi-disciplinary programs including first-time collaborations with Philadelphia- and Chester County-based institutions. 11


For Things Beyond Resemblance: James Welling Photographs, the Museum offered first-hand encounters with the artist in a conversation with director Thomas Padon and an in-gallery dialogue. The Museum held its first master class, in collaboration with four area colleges and universities. Twenty-three students from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of the Arts, Moore College of Art, and Tyler School of Art at Temple University participated in the program, which produced new connections to this important audience and resulted in a transformative experience for the students. Three dynamic programs highlighted themes from The Poetry of Nature: The Golden Age of American Landscape Painting exhibition, featuring distinguished experts in the fields of art and the environment and relating Hudson River art to the environmental movement. For family and youth audiences, 5,114 people participated in 51 programs in 2015, with an additional 2,178 people attending 13 programs from January to June 2016. Children and families participated in 12 PNC Arts Alive Free Sundays for Families events during this 18-month period. The prestigious grant enabled the Museum to offer popular programs with creative art activities for all ages led by teaching artists. In 2016, offerings were expanded to include performances and featured groups such as the Give and Take Jugglers, whose members walked across the Brandywine on a tight rope as part of their circus arts presentation. BalletX, Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet company, performed a pop-up dance for delighted visitors that same day. Transportation funding for community groups increased the reach of these events, resulting in new audiences for the museum. School tours were offered for 5,215 students from 144 schools in 2015, and continued with 2,169 students from 47 schools for the first half of 2016. Especially strong attendance occurred during the Pippin exhibition, in visits by 48 schools and community groups, representing a 20% increase over the same period the previous year, with many of those visitors coming to the Museum for the first time.

The Brandywine Conservancy is committed to the belief that preservation and wise use of natural and cultural resources provide health, education, beauty and increased quality of life for individuals and communities. The goal of its two operating programs is to provide present and future generations with open space, dependable water supplies, historical sites and important works of art—and also to provide an understanding of the meaning and potential of those things, both separately and in relation to each other.
