The Active A’s own John Lawrence and Matteo Riordan have set up an amazing tour for us

Southern Chester County Spring Tour – May 2, 2026

Last Chance Garage

As the weather finally warms, we’ll take advantage of a beautiful spring day with a scenic 40‑mile tour through Southern Chester County. Our route begins in Unionville and follows the winding roads that parallel the Brandywine, dipping into Delaware before looping back into Pennsylvania. Along the way, we’ll make planned gas and pit stops to keep everyone rolling comfortably.

From there, we’ll continue into nearby Maryland for a special visit to a remarkable hand‑built castle—an extraordinary lifelong project created by one man’s imagination and dedication.

We’ll conclude the tour at the home of John Lawrence, where we’ll enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch together.
