Join a half-day excursion into the countryside of Philadelphia to visit the exciting Valley Forge National Historical Park. Travel back in time to the American Revolution and learn why this winter encampment became an important turning point of the American Revolution.

Board your vehicle in Philadelphia and head towards one of the most significant sites of the American Revolutionary War. On the ride out to the park, your guide will discuss the early years of the war and the lead-up to the Valley Forge winter encampment.

Your visit to the park will include a stop at the Valley Forge Visitor Centre, displaying historic objects and artefacts. You'll gain an appreciation for the difficult circumstances of the American troops while you explore the recreated soldiers' cabins. Washington’s Headquarters still stands along the Schuylkill River and is open to the public. Gaze upon the massive National Memorial Arch, which stands to commemorate Washington and his army.

Along the way, your expert guide will tell you the stories that aren't in the textbooks, and you'll learn about the men who helped Washington survive the encampment and turn his army into a lethal fighting force.
