Valley Forge National Historical Park, one of more than 400 national parks managed by the National Park Service, is a 3,452 acre national park located approximately 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Valley Forge National Historical Park is nationally significant as the location of the 1777-78 winter encampment of the Continental Army under General George Washington. Few places evoke the spirit of patriotism and independence, represent individual and collective sacrifice, or demonstrate the resolve, tenacity and determination of the people of the United States to be free as does Valley Forge. The historic landscapes, structures, objects, and archeological and natural resources at Valley Forge are tangible links to one of the most defining events in our nation’s history Here the Continental Army under Washington's leadership emerged as a cohesive and disciplined fighting force.

I've always wanted to visit this museum. Amazing artifacts, history, first hand accounts and large diorama showing the progress of the 1899 flood. I didn't realize there had been subsequent floods. Take the time to see the Oklahoma house. And, so not miss the movie on three second floor. The lady at the welcome desk was great. Though not free, $54 for all of us was very reasonable for all this museum represents and the history it presents. See more..

We had never heard of this site but stopped by on the way to Valley Forge for the weekend. Had so much fun and learned a lot!! Would recommend visiting before Valley Forge versus on the way back after. We completed the Junior Ranger Activity booklet and badge program. We had yucky weather (hot and humid in July) but we finished seeing all of the buildings and exhibits in around two hours. We ran into several rangers who each greeted us and warned us about the incoming thunderstorm. They were all so pleasant and eager to answer our questions! Plenty of parking available in front of the visitor center. Limited cell phone service in the area, so download GPS directions ahead of time! The gravel are well-marked but a little hilly, so wear comfy shoes! See more..
- 4.0 Friendship Hill National Historic Site (88 reviews)
-Learning local history is fun
Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • National Parks
The two brief videos were very well done and provided history and insights into both Albert Gallatin and the estate. The house is well maintained and informative displays in each room provided more context. I especially liked the "windows into history" where sections of the structure were covered by plexiglass allowing visitors to see construction details. Although we didn't take advantage of the trail system it looked like a great place for bicycling and walking. It is a very peaceful landscape. See more..
