Historical Trading Post at Botanical Art House

Amazingly, this room were actually constructed approx. 1660 -- as a Beaver Pelt Trading Post! Recognized by Chadds Ford Township as the 6th oldest building in PA, this early cabin is located within a national floral designer's modern home & garden. Early area maps & artwork that inspired an artist in the Permanent Collection of the Brandywine River Museum are in the shared areas of 4 bedrooms in the house rented individually or together exclusively through AirBnb. Vaccinated guests only. The Trading Post Room is the ground floor of the original historic building and features a beamed ceiling of small trees cut on the property c 1660. The new queen bed is accompanied in the room by a large desk, swivel office chair, leather barrel chairs and coffee table. The Trading Post room is next to a shared kitchen, sun porch, outdoor covered porch, bathroom with laundry and large living room with tv and maps showing the history of the building and Chadds Ford/Beaver Valley area While the home itself is tucked away on one of the numerous back roads in the area, it's surprisingly close to many things. The house is a 1/2 mile from Route 202 (a major road). Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, Brandywine River Museum, Brandywine Battlefield, Whole Foods, Wegman's, Wine & Spirits, Trader Joe's, Target, Costco, and an AMC dine-in theatre are all within a 10-minute drive. Wilmington, DE & West Chester, PA are 15 minutes away; Kennett Square, PA and Newman College are 20 minutes away; Philadelphia Airport is 25 minutes; Philadelphia is 30 minutes . 6.4 miles off I-95's Wilmington, DE 202N exit just across the state line in Chadds Ford, PA, the house has plenty of parking for trailers & boats as well as cars. Although guests have walked 1.4 miles to Brandywine Battlefield, 2.2 miles to the Brandywine River Museum and biked 2.1 miles to Delaware's First State National Park Beaver Valley Unit, Ridge Road is very much a back road and does not have sidewalks.
