If there is sufficient interest, we will arrange for a trolley tour of  Valley Forge Park. The picturesque, rolling hillsides of 3,600-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park are a peaceful reminder of freedom won by men’s sacrifices long ago. It was here that General George Washington forged his Continental Army into a fighting force, during the winter encampment of 1777-78. Individuals taking part in this activity  will pay the fee prior to the tour.
