If you can’t make it to Kennett Square next weekend, it’s not as though you've blown your chance at 'shroom immersion. At any point in the year, your itinerary can include a visit to The Mushroom Cap, a quaint shop selling local mushrooms and associated goods alongside an exhibit, which features a 13-minute educational video that serves as a primer on the local mushroom industry. If that activity strikes your fancy, you might also want to explore The Woodlands at Phillips, a family home dating back to 1828 which similarly sells local mushroom goodies and includes a museum exhibit. For a super 'shroomy dinner, check out Portobellos of Kennett Square. The popular restaurant boasts a menu rich with dishes populated by mushrooms from local farms, but it's most famous for its savory roasted mushroom soup.

Of course, mushrooms aren’t the only thing on the itinerary in Kennett Square. In fact, they're not even the only thing for which the town is famous. The Kennett Square area also played a major role in the Underground Railroad, which you can learn all about by taking a Kennett Underground Railroad Center Tour.

And 'shrooms aren't the only blooms in town, either. Longwood Gardens, which comprises over a thousand acres of gorgeous gardens and woodlands featuring varied art installations, performances, and educational experiences, is a must-visit for those in need of a little nature. Another wholesome outdoorsy venue is Barnard’s Orchard, where you can pick apples, pears, pumpkins, and other produce depending on the time of year. Then, if you’re lucky enough to land a table—reservations typically need to be made a year in advance—the eight-course farm-to-table dinner at Talula’s Table is a must.

And when you’ve finally had your fill of virtuous activities and just need a drink, head to the Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery for a cup or ten of vino. After all, you may need something to take the edge off your imminent return to 'the real world,' and this town's attractions don’t include *that* type of 'shroom.
