Brandywine Battlefield

Washington's headquarters at Brandywine. The battle was on September 11, 1777 and involved roughly 11,000 continental soldiers. Although lost, it resulted in a withdrawal and didn't dampen the resolve of the continental soldiers to defeat the British later on.

The Gilpin House a short distance away was the home of Gideon Gilpin and family, local Quakers and on of the oldest homes in the area.
