Wyeth, at Turner's Mill on US 1, just north of the farm, during the summers from 1898 to 1903. Illustrator Howard Pyle taught art students, including N. Caleb Ring built the farmhouse sometime around 1814. Brandywine Battlefield State Park is about a half-mile north of the farm. Continental troops and militia units marched past on Ring road, but no actual fighting on the property can be documented. The Battle of Brandywine, fought nearby on September 11, 1777, left a cannonball and grapeshot in the farm's fields. The farm is open to public tours, operated by the Brandywine River Museum. The property abuts the Brandywine Battlefield, another National Historic Landmark. The farm was listed in the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2011. It is notable for its association with artist Andrew Wyeth, who created about one-third of his work, more than 1,000 paintings and drawings, on subjects he found there during a span of seventy-seven years. The Kuerner Farm, also known as Ring Farm, is an historic farm which is located in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
