A little bit outside of Philly, but a real gem --- located in Chadd's Ford, this museum features works by Andrew Wyeth...who lives nearby. I believe Andy oversees the collection presented at any point in time, and you can almost gauge the mood he's in by the beautiful landscapes and still im…

I saw this museum on the Travel Channel and put it on my list of places to visit. Unfortunately pictures are not allowed to be taken in the building, but if you want pictures all you have to do is buy a post card in the gift shop. The gift shop itself was a little odd, they had everything from key …
