Valley Forge National Historical Park
Valley Forge National Historical Park is the site of a Revolutionary War encampment, northwest of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania. Washington’s Headquarters, a stone house on the Schuylkill River, was occupied by George Washington from 1777 to 1778. Trails connect the key monuments and historic structures, including the early-20th-century National Memorial Arch and the Muhlenberg Brigade’s recreated log-cabin barracks.
Valley Forge Park is a place I found myself going back to many times alone and with my family. In the winter and summer, it was always hard to imagine a war being fought there and people dyeing and freezing to death.
