Bus Tours on Saturday, December 6th

On Friday, December 5th we received a phone call from a tour guide who would be bringing a group from Union, NJ to the Brandywine Valley to visit Longwood Gardens and the Brandywine River Museum on Saturday, December 6th. Can we bring a Coach Bus to town around 1 pm? Why not? I will call the police department to let them know so that parking spaces would be reserved. To my surprise the police department said we had another bus coming to town at 4 pm that same day. This bus group was from the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area. Both buses were coming to The Mushroom Cap - everyone wanted to visit the Mushroom Exhibit but most importantly several wanted to take fresh mushrooms back home with them. Everyone enjoyed their visit. The first group came from the Brandywine River Museum, left The Mushroom Cap and went to Longwood Gardens where they had plans to have lunch. The second group spent a little more time in town, also visiting the new Flickerwood Wine Tasting Room next door to The Mushroom Cap. They ended their day at Mendenhall Inn for dinner. Hopefully these tour guides will add Kennett Square to future itineraries. Why not visit small town America at it's best? Shop, Dine, Discover Kennett Square! There are several great restaurants in town who can accommodate large groups. Hope to see you soon!
One other note - I asked the tour guide from NJ how they heard about The Mushroom Cap? They picked up a Mushroom Cap rack card at the PA Visitor Center on Route 78!
Wow!
