Introduction

By Ben Kopke


Powder your wig, cross the Delaware and march down to Valley Forge, PA with the troops! Two hundred and twenty five years ago, General George Washington led the Continental Army to Valley Forge to seek refuge for the winter. What followed has become a classic story of hardship and triumph.

Today, the Valley Forge region is a thriving cultural center proudly celebrating its American heritage. From historic parks and inns, to the largest shopping mall in the country, Valley Forge offers history, culture and entertainment to suit every interest. Comprised mainly of Montgomery County, Valley Forge is a short drive from Philadelphia. With the diversity of attractions that lie along the Schuylkill River, the Valley Forge section of the Corridor is easily reached for a weekend visit, but two days will barely scratch the surface of all that there is to discover.
