Stately arch built in 1917 to commemorate George Washington's army who fought here from 1777-78.
The arch is in a section of the park that is not heavily traveled. It makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. Must see for history buffs.

This small place of worship is famous for its stained glass window depicting George Washington at prayer.
The last stop along the driving tour of Valley Forge, the chapel is probably overlooked by some. But it is and interesting place, especially the Justice Bell and 36-panel window.

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.
This park has a myriad of available activities from the museum to visitors center, historic reenactments, trout fishing and historical landmarks including George Washington's headquarters. Miles of hiking and biking trails, sledding in the winter, fishing in the summer and a huge Deer population. Other highlights include the Arch and Carillon tower.

The Georgian home of John Potts, founder of Pottstown, was built in 1752.
We received a very informative tour by the museum curator, giving us a glimpse into the life of the privileged 18th century Potts family and their descendants. Interesting info about the iron industry in colonial times. Due to the pandemic, our tour was scheduled by phone, and limited to members of one household.

Merrymead is a favorite place to visit any time of year, but it's a great ice cream visit on a summer afternoon. Lots of varieities of delicious fresh ice cream, quick service and and interesting shop for sweets and Pennsylvania Dutch type canned and baked goods. They sell larger take home quantities of ice cream for big celebrations too. I also love their ever changing outdoor garden items that vary with the season, like their pumpkins and decor shop in autumn.

Someone told me about this intriguing place and my cousin and I had to visit. We never knew this place existed. Fascinating that there is a log house in this area that has been preserved with so much history. Our tour guide Kristi was so informative and explained all the history surrounding the log house that we cannot wait to come back again. The grounds are well kept and we enjoyed hearing the history of this log cabin.
