A site of national importance, Brandywine Battlefield State Park is where an important battle, to defend the state of Pennsylvania, was fought between the Britishers and Americans during the American Revolution. The British won the battle and subsequently invaded the state and its adjoining areas. Today, this historic site has been preserved in its rawest form to give visitors a glimpse of America's independence struggle. The park spreads over a vast woodland which is an address to the The Benjamin Ring House, Gideon Gilpin's House, Lafayette's Quarters and many houses of the farmers who called this region their home during the revolution. In 1961, the Brandywine Battlefield State Park was bestowed with the honor of National Historic Landmark and is operated with the help of funds and volunteers.
