Save The Brandywine Battlefield
The historic Brandywine Battlefield, the site of the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War, is in danger of closing due to cutbacks in state funding. Hamanassett B&B is a proud participant in the "Reservations for Preservation" program initiated by the Brandywine Valley Bed & Breakfast Association, and is donating $1 per reservation to help keep the Battlefield open to the public.
