Kennet Square, PA

Historic Kennett Square, population slightly over 5,000, is a quintessential “hometown” community. Situated in the beautiful Brandywine Valley in rural southern Chester County, the borough, just one mile square, is located only twelve miles from Wilmington, Delaware, and 25 miles from Philadelphia with easy access to routes 1 and 202. Known as the Mushroom Capital of the World, Kennett Square is the smallest town in the U.S. with its own symphony orchestra. Many of the borough’s homes and buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In fact, most of its downtown and half of the entire borough is designated as a National Historic District. The downtown business district is a delightful place for a stroll, featuring quaint architecture and a variety of stores and restaurants. An 82-acre park and nearby golf courses provide local recreational opportunities and nearby Brandywine Valley historic, cultural, and natural attractions provide a variety of additional leisure time opportunities.
