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.

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.

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.
6. Green Lane Nature Center

If you haul in, the best trailer parking is the Red Trail Parking Lot off Knight Rd. There is a smaller lot for day parking by the Equestrian Campground, but unless you are overnighting you may not park in the camping area. Portable toilets are available and well tended. The red trail is wide with good footing and moderately hilly, a fairly easy ride out and back. If you park by the equestrian campground the blue trail is more of a wooded path with a good number of steep hills up and down and takes a fitter horse to go out and back. If your horse is fit for a longer ride, you can go from the red trail to the blue trail via a bridge with a dedicated pedestrian/bike/equestrian lane separated from the cars by a safe barrier. You then take the Perk. trail to the connector trail and back to the red trail. Probably 12-13 miles with easier and harder bits. The connector trail is paved on one longest segment. You can also park in the red lot and go on the connector trail to the Perk. Trail to the orange loop and back the way you came. It’s a little shorter and easier riding than circling the lake on the red and blue trails. The orange loop is a pretty forest path, lots of rocks. All the trails are well marked and there are good map signboards and paper ones to put in your pocket at the trail heads. We saw deer, lots of waterfowl, and plenty of song birds. Also, watch for trees downed by beaver along the lake. Impressive what they can take down!
