Valley Forge, Pennsylvania
Valley Forge, the Winter Encampment of Washington’s Continental Army, from December 19, 1777 to June 19, 1778, is one of the most sacred spots in American history. The reservation now embraces over 2,000 acres and is a historic shrine owned and maintained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
