Valley Forge to Be a Park in Pennsylvania History
Valley Forge, the historic site tied to Washington and the Continental Army, may become a public park as Pennsylvania has acquired a fifth of the land. Lawmakers are urged to take the rest, with patriotic societies prepared to fund a transfer if needed. The 2,000 acre site lies south of the Schuylkill near the railroad, with Washington’s former headquarters at the stone mansion.
