Valley Forge National Historical Park, Revolutionary War historical site in King of Prussia, US
The 3,500-acre park contains meadows, woodlands, historical structures, and monuments that represent the Continental Army's winter refuge during 1777-1778.
General George Washington selected Valley Forge as a strategic winter camp location, where 12,000 troops stayed and trained from December 1777 to June 1778.
The National Memorial Arch and Washington Memorial Chapel commemorate the perseverance of American soldiers who shaped the future of the United States.
The Visitor Center operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering orientation films, exhibits, and guided tours of the historical encampment grounds.
The park maintains reconstructed wooden soldier huts that demonstrate the exact living conditions of Continental Army troops during their six-month winter stay.
