Visitors can tour the preserved landscapes, historic buildings, and interpretive exhibits that bring the pivotal battle to life to get a glimpse into the military strategies, hardships, and heroism of the Revolutionary War. 
• Self-Guided Tour of Local Artist Robert C. Jackson’s Artwork: (10 minute walk, 4 minute drive) Bob Jackson is one of the local artists whose work is highlighted at Artelo. Bob is a contemporary artist, known for his playful and vibrant still-life paintings that blend realism with whimsical narrative. His work often features everyday objects – like balloons, soda crates, and toys – arranged in imaginative and surprising compositions that evoke a sense of nostalgia and humor. Walk to his studio on 204 State Street in Kennett Square. While this is a working studio and not a gallery, you will be able to spot one or more of his works in the window and get a sense of his artistic vision before stopping by Square Pear Fine Art Gallery next door.

Find the beginning of the paved trail behind Artelo (next to the train station) and follow it to Anson B. Nixon Park, which has numerous walking trails and a frisbee golf course.
