On Saturday, December 3rd <\/span>from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., get in the holiday mood by touring historic sites with us throughout Chadds Ford and Pennsbury Townships on our 31st annual Candlelight Christmas Tour. Candlelight Christmas truly ushers in the holiday season, and celebrates the history and scenic beauty of the Brandywine Valley by offering tours of historic sites as you\u2019ve never seen them before. This year\u2019s tour is unique because it includes important sites related to the Battle of Brandywine in 1777 including Thornbury Farm, the Old Kennett Meetinghouse, Brandywine Baptist Church, the John Chads House and the Barns\u2010Brinton House. At Thornbury Farm visitors can join in a Christmas sing\u2010along with the SAI music sorority from Temple University accompanied on a restored 1926 Mudler Hunter pipe organ. At the Old Kennett Meetinghouse, the public will have a rare chance to see one of the most\u2010 authentic 18th century meetinghouses in the nation. Virtually untouched since the 18th <\/span>century, the Old Kennett Meetinghouse does not even have heat or electricity.<\/p>\n

Tours begin at the Historical Society\u2019s Barn Visitors\u2019 Center where guest may purchase tour tickets, and pick up tour programs.
