Chadds Ford Then and Now II

This is the second Then and Now book by Phyllis Recca covering 38 historic properties and popular sites in the Chadds Ford area. A group of prominent families helped establish Chadds Ford, including the Brintons, Gilpins and Painters. Several of the Painter family farms are included along with the restored 1704 residence of William Brinton. Nearby at Dilworthtown, Dilworth's Inn, a blacksmith and a general store are featured. In addition to the centuries old historic properties are several popular locations that no longer exist, such as Lenape Park, the 202 Drive-In and Chadds Peak. Learn about the Ten-Pin Cannon Ball and the small basement pub called Reyburn's Tavern, once run by the oldest bartender in America. The full color book mixes history and fun stories to complement a photographic journey through time.
