Focal point of Valley Forge attractions is the 3,600 acre Valley Forge National Historical Park.

The Valley Forge National Historical Park is where General George Washington forged his Continental Army into a fighting force, during the winter encampment of 1777-78. There were not any battles fault or bayonet charges or artillery bombardments took place. 2,000 solders died that's more Americans than were killed at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown combined. The park is a lush today with 3,600-acre expanse of rolling hilsides dotted with many dotted flowering dogwood trees. The origonal stone headquarters of George Washinton have been restored and furished; the log huts have been reconstructed; and the statues and monuments throughout the park remind all the visitors of our national heritage.
