Welcome to the Chadds Ford Historical Society!

For 50 years the Chadds Ford Historical Society has been preserving history, providing education and serving the community. Our three 18th century houses are the central point for living history programs and education. Throughout the year we host a variety of programs including a Spring Lecture Series, Tavern Nights, Escape Brandywine and Plein Air artist Paint Out. Our family oriented events have become a community tradition. In 2019 we are pleased to host three events: Valley Jamboree, Chadds Ford Days and the Great Pumpkin Carve. The Society also offers educational programs, summer camps and group tours. We invite you to visit us at our Barn Visitors Center to view special exhibits and learn more about the Chadds Ford area.

Upcoming Events and Programs

American Girl Doll Summer Camps - 2019

We have two American Girl Camps: June 24 - 28 and August 5 - 9. We will be focusing on one era and one or more dolls per day. Your child can bring along their favorite doll to play and learn American History through their eyes. From the earliest days of the Colonies through the American Revolution, from the Civil War to Civil Rights, the changes that took place for all Americans have had a major impact on our girls’ lives today.
