Ongoing economic troubles are fast making “staycation” the buzzword of the summer.

Fortunately for area residents, with world-class collections, dazzling gardens, and the rich heritage of the Brandywine Valley, there’s a lot to do close by.

And now, the Brandywine Museums & Gardens Alliance is making the local scene even more attractive with the 2009 Brandywine Treasure Trail promotion – a single-rate admission ticket that gives visitors a way to visit all nine participating venues at a remarkable discount.
