Brandywine Museum of Art is known for its unparalleled collection of works by three generations of the Wyeth family. The Wyeth’s were known for their love of Halloween and founded a seasonal artistic tradition in the Brandywine Valley. It began in the 1970's when Andrew and Jamie Wyeth began carving pumpkins to decorate a local restaurant. Decades later, the tradition continues, albeit outdoors, at Chadds Ford Historical Society's Great Pumpkin Carve, October 17-19, 2024. Over 70 talented artists carve giant pumpkins which will be lit and displayed all three nights. Great local fare, live music and hayrides add to the festive fall celebration.
