It showcases more than 200 vintage postcards tracing the river from its origins in Chester County, Pennsylvania, through the upper regions of Delaware, and into the Christina River in Wilmington, Delaware.
Covers the countryside from the Revolutionary War Battle of Brandywine through 19th-century settlement into the 20th century
Includes scenes of the du Pont powder mills, Longwood Gardens, and the Brandywine River Museum
Most postcards were produced before 1920, with a few newer ones for contrast
