Valley Forge

If one lived nearby or had several days to visit this would be a fun place to visit.  Large park with many open spaces and walking/biking trails.  Also road tour of the park.  Not much ‘get you involved’ stuff to see.  Washington and Continental Army spent winter here.  It was cold and wet.  They were hungry and under clothed.  Late winter and early spring things got better with food and clothing and they received much needed military training.  In June they defeated the British in several important battles and went on to eventual final victory.

With more time it might have been nice to do some biking but we needed to move on to find lodging.
