Valley Forge National Historical Park                                          King of Prussia, Montgomery County

Without a doubt, Valley Forge State Park is a Must on the "Things to See and Do list". Beautiful, historic, entertaining. Really, there is something for everyone, not just the kiddos.  Valley Forge National Historical Park commemorates more than the sacrifices and perseverance of the Revolutionary War generation; it honors the ability of citizens and their leaders to pull together and overcome adversity during extraordinary times.

Weekends, beginning September 5, visitors can enjoy twice-daily ranger-led walking tours, costumed interpreters at Muhlenberg Brigade, Varnum`s Quarters and Washington`s headquarters, "Story of Valley Forge" guided trolley tours and bike rentals.

Once Upon a Nation storytellers share anecdotal first-hand accounts of the encampment at four benches located throughout the Park. On Saturdays at dusk, join costumed park rangers and volunteers for a fall campfire.  And, during Valley Forge After Hours tours, every Saturday night, visitors can enjoy a Colonial fare picnic, meet Martha and General Washington and share a campfire and stories with the troops.  Fee charged for trolley tours and After Hours tours.

PLUS, they have cell phone tours. Really.

Valley Forge National Historical Park has pioneered a new and unique way to tour the grounds. Whether you are driving, biking, or walking, you simply use your personal cell phone to call a number and listen to a short narration of historical information. By dialing different prompts you can learn about individual sites and monuments throughout the park.

Now where ever you are exploring the Park, history is simply a phone call away!  The general phone number is 484.396.1018. También disponible en español en 484.396.1015.
