The Brandywine Conservancy's Board of Trustees has agreed to buy Roberta "Bobbi" Odell's Skirmish Hill Farm in Birmingham Township, adding 13 acres to the more than 500 acres of preserved land where the Battle of the Brandywine took place on Sept. 11, 1777.
A Feb. 13 press release from the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art said that Mrs. Odell's farm was "the final piece of the Brandywine's 25-year endeavor" to preserve the battlefield area and protect it from development.
