Kennett Square sits in the heart of the lush Brandywine Valley, exuding an atmosphere of historic small-town charm. Affectionately dubbed the Mushroom Capital of the World, Kennett Square is famous for mushroom farming, producing the largest amount of fresh mushrooms in the United States.
Much of the action in Kennett Square is stretched along State Street, which is home to a number of unique shops, galleries, and farm-fresh eateries. Regular events such as the annual Mushroom Festival, Kennett Brewfest, and Kennett Farmers Market bring the community together. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature in Kennett Square, with the beautiful Longwood Gardens and the Anson B. Nixon Park in town. West Chester, Wilmington, Lancaster, and Philadelphia are all within an hour’s drive of Kennett Square as well.
