Just seven miles away from Longwood Gardens sits Baldwin’s Book Barn, which boasts a collection of over 200,000 books. Originally, when I heard about the book “barn,” I didn’t think about a building so large that you need a detailed map to navigate the four floors.


However, the map was much needed if you want to see every inch for yourself. There are narrow staircases, low ceilings, and books located around every nook and cranny and under every staircase.


Even the décor is book-themed! This was an awesome place to kill a few hours. If you enjoy being emersed in literature of all types, this place is worth checking out for sure. The next time you are in West Chester, PA, stop in. The book barn is open every day from 10:00am to 6:00pm except for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
