The Most Whimsical Town In Delaware Will Steal Your Heart

Delaware’s charming Brandywine Valley features beautiful landscapes, homes and scenery that’s often overlooked when visitors decide to flock to our beaches. If you’re looking for an upstate adventure this summer, spend a day seeing the sights in Greenville, Delaware to feel like American royalty.

The Greenville landscape is dotted with beautiful DuPont mansions, gorgeous estates, and beautiful, classy homes that line the shady streets.
