Valley Forge

Valley Forge is more than just a historical site – it's a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. In the winter of 1777-1778, the Continental Army camped at Valley Forge. The camp was located just outside of Philadelphia, and it quickly became clear that the area was ill-suited for such a large group of soldiers. The soldiers faced harsh conditions, including cold weather, scarce supplies and illness. Yet they persevered, continuing to fight for independence from British rule. Today, the park features 3,500 acres of monuments, meadows and woodlands commemorating the sacrifices and perseverance of the Revolutionary War generation.
