Here was the position of part of the Continental Army before and at the time of the Battle of the Brandywine on September 11, 1777. Efforts are in place to conserve as much of the battlefield area as is possible. Patriots fought bravely to ensure our freedoms and this is one of the historic places where we remember them.
The Footpath at Birmingham Hill allows public access to a portion of the Brandywine Battlefield National Historic Landmark. Estabished in 2010, the Footpath follows a 1.1 mile trail, adjacent to a split rail fence along the perimeter of Brandywine Conservancy property and a segment along Meetinghouse Road provided by the Worth Family Trust. The area remains much as it was in 1777 - open fields and dense woods.
