Shy's Hill

Shy's Hill, located in Smyrna, Delaware, is a historic site with great significance for tourists and visitors interested in American history. This site, also known as Shy's Ford, played a pivotal role in the Battle of Brandywine during the American Revolutionary War.

On September 11, 1777, General George Washington's Continental Army faced the British Army on the grounds of Shy's Hill, a strategic location overlooking the Brandywine Creek. In a fierce and bloody battle, the Continental Army fought bravely but was ultimately defeated by the stronger and better-trained British soldiers. Despite their defeat, this battle marked a turning point in the war, as it allowed the Continental Army to retreat and regroup, ultimately leading them to victory in the war.

Today, visitors can explore this historic site and learn about the events that took place on this hill. The site features interpretive displays and informative signs, as well as a monument to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives in battle. Shy's Hill is a must-visit destination for those seeking to learn about America's fight for independence and the sacrifices made by brave soldiers.
