Brandywine Conference & Visitors Bureau BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Welcome to Delaware County’s Brandywine Country!

s Chairman of the Delaware County Council, I believe that one of the county’s greatest assets is its diversity, in people, landscapes, architecture and commerce. This issue of “Brandywine Country” highlights that diversity by shining a spotlight on three wonderful, but different communities: Upper Darby, one of our more urban towns in the eastern portion of the county; Media, the county seat, which is centrally located; and Chadds Ford, a rural town in the western reaches of the county. Baby boomers have memories of walking up the hill in Upper Darby to shop at Gimbels, or seeing a concert at the Tower Theater, and for many of us, Chadds Ford represented “the country,” a place where horses share the land with landscape artists. We are proud of all three communities in that they are rich in

history, culture and commerce. We invite county residents to visit these neighborhoods, to enjoy their restaurants, museums, parks, theaters and business districts. Ever since I was first elected to the County Council in 2000, we have made it a priority to invest in these communities through our Revitalization Program and Open Space Initiative. It is our goal to revitalize the “first-generation” communities in the eastern end of the county while preserving open space and promoting smart growth in the western end. I am pleased that our revitalization efforts are continuing, and that all of the county’s diverse communities combine to form one great, successful county.

Things are looking up in

UPPER DARBY Renovation and revitalization efforts are breathing new life into this bustling and historic Delaware County township.

or decades, Upper Darby has been the gateway by which Philadelphia residents have journeyed into the countryside. First by horse and buggy, then by automobile and finally by bus, trolley and train, people have traveled here both to visit and to live. After so many decades as Delaware County’s unofficial front door, it seems only fitting that this

storied township be updated to continue its role in the new millennium. The revitalization efforts — officially named the Market Street Gateway Project — are reshaping the Market Street corridor and re-energizing the vital Delaware County community in the process. The project, a partnership effort of Millbourne Borough, Delaware County and Upper Darby Township, is broken into several

phases. The first phase was completed in 2005 and consisted of $3.2 million of automobile and pedestrian traffic improvements from 69th and Market streets in Upper Darby to the area near Powell Lane in Millbourne Borough. The next phase will focus on property redevelopment. “The positives of the Gateway Project are numerous,” says Upper Darby Mayor F. Raymond Shay. “We have improved vehicle and pedestrian access, boosted job creation, completed landscape beautification, increased community pride for our citizens, improved relationships with neighborhood businesses and reduced urban sprawl by re-purposing underutilized buildings. “We are already continuing our revitalization efforts by carrying out new zoning laws that will also produce a number of improvements,” Shay continues. “Through these new laws, we hope to encourage economic improvement, improve distressed neighborhoods, restore stable neighborhood character, protect sensitive environmental features, encourage the use of public transit, minimize traffic issues and improve parking.” A major focus of Upper Darby’s updated image is the 69th Street Shopping District — a major community landmark and center of activity for nearly a century. Built in the early 1920s by prominent local developer John H. McClatchy, 69th Street was

6 B RAN D Y W I N E

the first outdoor street mall in the nation. Stretching for two gigantic city blocks at the time (it now encompasses three), the shopping district was a key center of activity for countless residents as they shopped at such Philadelphia retail giants as Gimbels and Lit Brothers. In the mid-1980s, the McClatchy family sold the complex for a mere $9 million dollars. Because of the Gateway Project efforts and the resulting excitement in the community, the complex sold again in 2005 for more than $90 million. The new owners are deeply committed to restoring the infrastructure of the shopping district, which now includes approximately 85 stores including such national chains as Sears, Marshalls and Staples. Upper Darby is also home to SEPTA’s 69th Street transportation hub, with more than 60,000 commuter trips daily. The terminal is served by three trolleys that travel to and from Norristown, Media and Sharon Hill as well as 21 bus routes. It is also at 69th Street that the Market Street/Frankford El connects to Center City and all points on Philadelphia’s transportation infrastructure.

With all this activity, it is no wonder that Upper Darby attracts so many visitors and new residents each year. The township has always been a community made up of distinctive neighborhoods representing various ethnic groups, and in the past few years, it has seen a strong resurgence in these populations. In fact, the township started welcoming so many immigrants into the community that it opened a welcome center at 7000 Walnut St. in 2002. The center offers new residents a friendly location where they can go and find out about various community services, including seminars on housing, health care and employment issues. “In Upper Darby, you can have a

Korean restaurant next to a Latino one, next to a Portuguese one next to one that caters to African American soul food — all on the same street. And they will all be bordered by a pizza shop, a Greek restaurant and a cheese steak place,” explains Mayor Shay. “The diversity of our community can be clearly seen in the diversity of our restaurants.” “We do our best to welcome all types of citizens,” Mayor Shay continues, explaining Upper Darby’s popularity among foreign-born residents. “We are convenient transportationwise and we have an outstanding school system that goes out of their way to cater to their needs.”

As a matter of fact, Upper Darby High School has a student population of more than 4,300 with 47 dialects spoken among them. Recently, foreignowned businesses have joined in the migration to the township. The H Mart Companies — a Koreanowned grocery company — recently selected Upper Darby as the site of their new Super H store. In addition, the Korean-owned and -operated MoreBank chose the township for the location of its second branch office. Many residents of Delaware County have cherished memories of time spent in Upper Darby. Two prominent landmarks — the art deco McClatchy Building (built by the WWW.B RANDYWINECOUNTRY.ORG

same McClatchy mentioned above) and the Tower Theater — remain today. Originally opened in 1928 as a movie house, the Tower Theater changed into a major marquis entertainment complex about 30 years ago. Now owned and operated by Clear Entertainment, the theater recently underwent a multimilliondollar refurbishing project and can rock with the best concert sites around the nation. Recently, this entertainment venue has hosted such names as The Temptations, The Rolling Stones and Robin Williams. For many, a stroll down memory lane includes outings to Gimbels and Lit Brothers, the live Christmastime Santa exhibit and the springtime Easter Bunny with its giant sliding board and live animals. Others fondly remember good times spent rolling around Chez Vous at the indoor roller skating rink and popular dance hall. (H Mart now stands on the site of this landmark attraction.) Still others mention Betty’s Ice Cream shop on Garrett Road and Hanscom Bakery on the corner of Chestnut and 69th as their favorite Upper Darby memories. Many memories and experiences are still being created today by a newer Upper Darby tradition — the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center and its Summer Stage program. As Mayor Shay points out, no article on

Upper Darby would be complete without mention of this nationally recognized youth arts program, celebrating its 32nd season in 2007 with six children’s musicals and a Broadway Mainstage performance. Every year at Summer Stage, more than 700 young people produce seven shows in nine weeks under the direction of 75 professional staff members. The participants — who range in age from 11 to 25 — sing, dance, act, sell tickets, sew costumes, build sets, hang lights, adjust sound and assist with staging and choreography. The end result of their labor is truly electrifying and enjoyed by more than 30,000 audience members every season at the auditorium of Upper Darby High School. The Summer Stage program counts several nationally recognized performers among its many alumni, including Tina Fey, former head writer and performer for “Saturday Night Live” and an actress on “30 Rock”; actress Monica Horan of “Everybody Loves Raymond”; and actor Christopher Sapienza of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.” Many more alumni work as actors, dancers, singers, technicians and theater professionals in the Philadelphia area and around the nation. Finally, the rich history of Upper Darby can be highlighted with a visit to the Swedish Log Cabin, built in the 1600s, and the Collenbrook House, built in the late 1700s. Both properties are listed in the National Historic Register and provide a picturesque glimpse of Colonial life centuries ago. As this new century unfolds, Upper Darby’s proud past is quickly becoming an exciting prologue for its promising future. By combining the amenities of a large city with the more relaxed comfort of the suburbs, it continues to provide Delaware County with a remarkably convenient, yet metropolitan, destination not to be missed.

UPPER DARBY MEMORIES

“Two of my fondest

memories of Upper Darby were having a banana split at Betty’s Ice Cream Parlor on Garrett Road and sharing lunch with many of the attorneys whose offices were in the 69th Street area at Rowland’s Drug Store on Garrett Road.” — Delaware County Criminal Law Liaison Judge Frank T. Hazel

“I remember

during World War II when we would have air raid warnings. Then I remember the jubilation on VJ Day when everyone was in the streets celebrating.” — Upper Darby Mayor F. Raymond Shay

“Boy, where do you begin? From

the beginning, I guess. As a little kid there was the 69th Street giant slide, the Mother Goose woman who lived in the giant shoe, the Easter Bunny and Santa. As I got older there were the dances at Chez Vous and St. Alice. Finally, when I could drive, the Hot Shoppe. Those were the days!” — Brandywine Conference and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Tore Fiore WWW.B RANDYWINECOUNTRY.ORG

ver had a yearning to go back a few decades and enjoy a simpler time when neighbors knew each other and the local shop owners recognized you when you came in? When traditions had meaning, friendships lasted a lifetime and communities pulled together both in times of need and times of celebration? Well, no need to find a time-

travel machine, just make your way over to Media, or as the locals affectionately describe it, “Everybody’s Hometown.”

Media’s origins go back more than 300 years when William Penn sold a parcel of land to Thomas Minshall. Minshall’s farming land was set up outside the town limits of the Village of Providence, which contained a blacksmith, wheelwright, stables, outbuildings and a few small houses and farmland areas. The town’s location in the center of Delaware County inspired the name of “Media” which stems from the Latin word for “middle.” It wasn’t long before the quiet farming community traded some of its pastures and meadows for the benefits of a carefully orchestrated town with streets running south, west and east from the spot of the neoclassicalstyle courthouse, built in 1851. With its close proximity to the city (Philadelphia is only 12 miles away), businesses were soon booming and families growing in this increasingly

popular suburban community. Today, the past is kept alive by a new generation of merchants and homeowners whose interest is in preserving and restoring the town’s historic roots. Many of Media’s Victorian homes, built more than a century ago, are still beautifully maintained. After extensive restoration, the Minshall House, located at Front Street and Providence Road, is now maintained by the Media Historic Preservation Society and is regularly open to the public. Numerous beautiful buildings, many of which line State Street, were once home to the businesses that began in the late 1800s. STATE STREET

Media Theatre is the heartbeat of activity of this town. Adding to its charming, oldfashioned feel is the periodic bell of a trolley car rolling down the center of the street — an extremely rare snapshot of small-town America’s past. A visit to Media would not be complete without a stroll along State Street. Here are just a few of the local favorites to guide you on your trek. Located on the ground floor of the old Media Armory is the brand-new Pennsylvania Veterans’ Museum, which opened in the fall of 2005. While not large in size, the museum delivers a grand scope of history through interactive kiosks and comprehensive exhibitions. The museum is an invaluable resource in preserving the legacy of all Pennsylvania’s military veterans and documenting their service and sacrifice for future generations. Right across the parking lot is one

of State Street’s most popular eateries, the Iron Hill Brewery, serving regional American fare along with a large selection of specialty beers. At the other end of State Street, if you turn left on Veterans Square, you will not be able to miss D’Ignzaio’s Towne House Restaurant — a true Media tradition with an extensive menu and enough memorabilia on the walls to cement its claim as a Delaware Valley landmark. In between those two, the street is lined with several delicious options, including the lovely Brodeur’s on State Street, the more casual Plumstead Inn, and a hearty sampling of international flavors at Margaret Kuo’s Media,

Picasso Restaurant and Bar, La Belle Epoque Café, Fellini Café Trattoria and La Na ThaiFrench Cuisine. State Street’s shops and boutiques provide variety, creativity and artistry within their walls. Earth & State features beautiful hand-made gifts and décor

and Turning Point Gallery, just a few doors away, showcases the artwork of more than 200 juried artisans. Creative passions can be fulfilled with a visit to the Village Art Shop and the blooms available at the Media Florist are some of nature’s most brilliant seasonal selections. If your shopping focus is centered more on finding the perfect accessories for a romantic occasion, then a visit to Golden Impulse Jewelry and the Kreutz Creek Winery Wine Shop are definitely in order. Finally, for the man with discriminating tastes, fine quality menswear — and the impeccable personal service that goes with it — can be found at B. Gross Menswear, a State Street institution since 1923. “It’s great to be a part of State Street since it has such a selection and so much to offer with the great restaurants, festivals and fairs,” explains Bruce Middleman, owner of B. Gross. “For example, I see the mall W W W. B RA N DY W I N E C O U N T RY. O RG

Scott Arboretum like the boardwalk. People might get a pretzel, a drink, walk around a little. State Street is a destination. There is a sense of family here. People just drop in to say hello and we know most of our customers on a first-name basis.” On several occasions throughout the year, State Street becomes the site for colorful community celebrations. Whether it’s the grand recognition of the Veteran’s Day Parade, the joyful exuberance of the Halloween Parade or the colorful pageantry of the Chinese New Year Celebration, thousands of spectators line the street in order to participate in these festive annual traditions. In

warmer weather, Super Sundays take over the street, filling every available space with delicious food, lively music, exquisite artwork and terrific flea market finds. State Street honestly has an event for everyone. The Annual State Street Blues Stroll and Jazz by Night Festivals are favorites among the musically inclined. Annual events like the

Wachovia Amateur Bike Challenge, Media FiveMile Race and Bike 4 Sight draw crowds of both athletes and recreational participants. For the younger set, there are the Great Media Easter Egg Hunt, the Rotary Soap Box Derby and Santa’s Arrival and the Festival of Lights. A complete list of such special events is available at www.mediabusinessauthority.com. A relative newcomer to the State Street calendar, Second Saturdays have quickly become popular events. On the second Saturday of each month, more than 30 businesses on and around State Street stay open until 9 p.m. and host local musicians or dis-

play the work of local artists. All events are free and sponsored by the Media Arts Council. Visitors can stroll freely or pick up a map detailing the specific events at www.mediaartscouncil.org. Sounds like there’s a lot to do here, doesn’t it? Unbelievably, the attractions on State Street aren’t the only gigs in town. UNIQUE THEATER EXPERIENCES

or a touch of Broadway pizzazz, the Media Theatre (also a jewel among the gems of State Street) showcases numerous extravagant musical productions a year, in addition to a host of intimate concerts and popular children’s performances. As Delaware County’s only professional theater, it provides a big-city theater experience in an exquisitely restored 1927 vaudeville theater. The Players Club of Swarthmore, a 300-

The Hedgerow Theatre, housed in a picturesque cottage in the woods of Rose Valley, is the oldest resident repertory theater in the nation and serves as a cultural resource for audiences of all ages and for established and emerging artists alike. Their charming Saturday morning performances for children — with punch and cookies served afterward — are particularly popular.

Media Trolley Car bakery items at the farm market. The huge playland with its massive wooden play structures and the animal feeding areas are always big hits with the kids. Linvilla has some kind of festival or event every month — sometimes several — and is one of Delaware County’s most well-loved attractions. For visitors who are looking for a lovely locale to enjoy nature’s magnificence, Rose Tree Park, Tyler Arboretum and Scott Arboretum are excellent choices. Rose Tree Park sits on 120 acres and features the phenomenal summer concert series and the sparkling Festival of Lights in the winter. Tyler Arboretum, one of the oldest and largest arboreta in the northeastern United States, offers 650 acres of horticultural collections, hiking trails, workshops, classes and tours. The plants at Scott Arboretum on the Swarthmore College campus serve as a living museum for homeowners seeking ideas for their gardens and are attractively landscaped in relation to the campus buildings. No matter what activities make up your experience in Media, we’re sure you’ll find that our community is defined not so much by geographical boundaries but by the timeless sense of warm hospitality It truly is “Everybody’s Hometown.” Detailed information — including phone numbers, hours of operation and Web sites — for each attraction listed above is available within the listing pages of this guide or online at www.brandywinecountry.org.

Fortunately, there are literally dozens of opportunities to snag a little of the Brandywine mystique for yourself. For example, the Chadds Ford Gallery is a full-service gallery with a large selection of Wyeth reproductions in addition to original works by tremendously talented artists. Early spring brings the well-loved local tradition of the Chadds Ford Art Show and Sale at Chadds Ford Elementary School — a school fund-raiser started years ago by Mrs. Andrew Wyeth and featuring works by more than 75 local artists. It is difficult to travel very far in this area and not discover one of our many captivating antiques shops. These boutiques offer thousands of decorative and historical treasures that can be

Every year since 1987, the readers of the Wilmington News Journal have voted the Mendenhall Inn as one of the best restaurants in the tri-state area. The Inn is situated on land purchased by Benjamin Mendenhall in 1703 and reflects the historical origins of the buildings. The restaurant features sumptuous selections borrowed from country French and classic American cuisine, superb tableside “flambé” desserts and gourmet coffees — all served amid the warm glow of candlelight. Within Montchanin Village, is Krazy Kat’s Restaurant, which features fresh, seasonal, northeast cuisine while offering an eclectic fine dining menu. The village itself — named for Alexandrine de Montchanin, grandmother of the founder of the DuPont

The Inn at Montchanin Village was ranked the “World’s Best Hotel for $250 or less, 1st among the Top 15,” by Travel & Leisure magazine in 2006. For a decade, Wine Spectator Magazine has awarded its award of excellence to the elegant and dignified Dilworthtown Inn. Here, patrons take time to savor the finest cuisine and genuine hospitality in an atmosphere steeped in history. Diners are able to perfectly complement the exceptional American cuisine with

A visit to Simon Pearce on the Brandywine can rejuvenate your midday with a delicious meal while being a unique tourist attraction in itself.

Finally, the American Helicopter Museum is the home of the nation’s largest collection of helicopters with more than 35 civilian and military helicopters, autogiros and convertiplanes. Each year, thousands of visitors — including many little ones who are only too eager to sit inside a real helicopter — flock to the museum to

Re-enactment at Brandywine Battlefield World Italian cuisine with new and innovative culinary highlights. Owned and operated by the Capozzoli family, this charming restaurant features an extensive wine list, an Italian delicatessen and a bakery supplying fresh breads and pastries delivered daily from Brooklyn, NY. A CHILDLIKE GETAWAY

very year, on the weekend after Labor Day, Kennett Square throws a lavish extravaganza to celebrate “the Mushroom Capital of the World.” More than 100,000 visitors come from far and wide to experience the fun of the Mushroom Festival that includes a street festival, art show, cooking demonstrations, children’s entertainment and more. While the festival definitely has a small-town America feel, it has gar-

nered some big-time recognition, including being featured on the Food Network’s “All American Festival” and being voted as one of the top 10 festivals in Pennsylvania by Travelocity. The Marlborough Valley Corn Maze, open mid-September through October, is a family-friendly fall phenomenon. The farm has something for everyone — from petting zoos and pumpkins to haunted mazes and moonlit hayrides. Guests can also explore the 8.5-acre maze, corn cannon and hay jump. It can honestly be said that fun travels to the Brandywine through many channels — including by water, rail and air. The Northbrook Canoe Company offers canoeing, kayaking and tubing trips along the scenic Brandywine River from May through October. Excursions of many different lengths are available to ensure

he Brandywine Battlefield Park is one of the major attractions along Chadds Ford’s U.S. Route 1 and is the site of the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War. The park’s visitors’ center has a permanent collection of historic artifacts. Within the park’s 50 acres of rolling hills are Washington’s headquarters and Lafayette’s quarters, which visitors are able to see on self-guided driving tours. In addition to regular educational events, the battlefield hosts a historically authentic Revolutionary Times re-enactment every year in early September. Visitors can also travel back in time to Colonial life at the John Chads House, home of the (Continued on page 51)

The Scoop on Poop!

Through 5/13

Fish do it and frogs do it. Even we do it, but poop is one of those subjects we find difficult to talk about with a straight face. Based on a popular book by Dr. Wayne Lynch, the exhibit is a tactful blend of fun and good science that explores what poop is and how it is used.

Howard Pyle and the American Renaissance

3/17-5/20

The American Renaissance was an important ideological and aesthetic trend in the late 19th century that influenced the illustrative work of Howard Pyle. Believing that illustration was a springboard for painting and a means for cultivating public taste, Pyle created many classically inspired works for publication in popular magazines and books. This exhibition features approximately 40 works by Pyle as well as by artists that influenced Pyle’s style and artists that shared his ideals.

Guests may visit the house where N.C. Wyeth raised his extraordinarily creative children and the studio in which he painted many of his memorable works of art as well as the historic Kuerner Farm, a major source of inspiration to Andrew Wyeth. Educational tours depart from the museum at timed intervals.

Strikingly Beautiful: Pocket Matchsafes, 1850-1910

5/25-7/22

With the invention of the friction match in the 1830s, laborious processes of producing fire were eliminated. Early matches saved time, but they were extremely unstable and often spontaneously ignited at inopportune times. A small tightly sealed container, called a matchsafe, reduced friction and enabled matches to be safely transported in a pocket without fear of fire. Although initially utilitarian, matchsafes quickly became fashionable accoutrements and an art form. This exhibition showcases a variety of matchsafes, including some designed by Tiffany’s, Cartier and Gorham.

Dog Days of Summer: Works by Jamie Wyeth

6/9-9/3

This exhibition features more than three decades of Jamie Wyeth’s art representing dogs. Borrowing from both public and private collections, it provides a comprehensive examination of Wyeth’s fascination with canines of many sorts, in many activities and places. Most of these paintings and drawings are usually unavailable to the public.

Art in the ‘Toon Age

3/24-5/13

These paintings and works on paper showcase three generations of artists whose bright colors, bold linearity and shorthand communication devices spring from the cartoon and animation styles of the 1940s and 1950s. Featured artists include: Red Grooms, Ida Applebroog and John Clem Clarke (1960s and 1970s); Luis Cruz Azaceta and Sue Williams (1980s); and Laylah Ali and Steve DeFrank (1990s).

Contemporary Photography and the Garden: Deceits and Fantasies

6/23-9/16

This exhibition looks at a group of American and European photographers and their wide range of artistic responses to the garden, from reflecting upon it as a site of lyrical beauty to drawing upon it as a dark visual metaphor for the manipulation of nature. The exhibition is organized by the American Federation of Arts. The exhibition is made possible, in part, by a grant from the A.R. Brooks Trust. Additional support is provided by David L. Davies and

Providence Road, Upper Providence, from June 6 to Aug. 5, 2007. “The Summer Festival is the best entertainment bargain in the county and we invite everyone to come out and enjoy the concerts, all for free,” said Delaware County Council Chairman Andrew J. Reilly. The Summer Festival is an annual tradition that brings thousands of people to Rose Tree Park to hear a variety of performers from Blackthorn to “Beatlemania.” Now, visitors enjoy everything from military bands to ballet troupes, and tributes to Sinatra, Jimmy Buffet and Billy Joel.

Marc Manfre, director of the Delaware County Department of Parks and Recreation, said the 2007 Summer Festival will feature 45 exciting and innovative programs for county residents to enjoy. Performances are held at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday nights in Rose Tree Park. People are invited to bring blankets or lawn chairs for terraced lawn seating. Shows are cancelled in the event of rain. The Delaware County Summer Festival is presented by Delaware County Council with support from a variety of sponsors. A full schedule of concerts will be available to residents starting on May 1. Schedules are posted on the county Web site at www.co.dela ware.pa.us.
