The Countryside of Philadelphia invites you to discover what we are now while honoring what we were then. Today, the arts flourish in varied and exciting iterations: dance at the Brandywine Ballet, outdoor sculpture at the Abington Art Center, the sonorous strings of the Kennett Symphony and the toe-tapping bluegrass of a celebrated folk music festival. Museums cover everything from the paintings of Andrew Wyeth to the comedy of The Three Stooges. The area’s history is brought to life daily at Brandywine Battlefield and the winter encampment at Valley Forge. The great outdoors is a natural kaleidoscope, especially at the world-renowned Longwood Gardens, which combines the best of Italian, French, and English traditions to create one of North America’s most memorable gardens. What about the shopping? Shoppers will discover everything they have dreamed of in the King of Prussia Mall, the largest retail complex in the U.S. and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets.
