Sanderson Museum
I can't believe that last week was the first time I ever visited the Christian C. Sanderson Museum on Route 100 in Chadds Ford. What a wonderful and quirky place! It's full of the stuff that "Chris" collected over his lifetime, from autographs to dried flowers to historical relics to little vials of water from exotic locales. It's a charming and refreshingly non-flashy, low-tech museum.
"From Revolutionary War history to childhood memories, from Chadds Ford artifacts to Civil War memorabilia, the Sanderson Museum represents a man's life and a nation's history," says the museum website (http://www.sandersonmuseum.org/).
It's open March through November, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (though private tours are also available at other times). Admission is free but of course donations are welcome.
