Fog in one of the many grassy meadow in Valley Forge National Historical park
Valley Forge is the encampment site of the Continental Army during the winter of 1777-1778. The park features 3,500 acres of meadows, woodlands, and monuments commemorating the sacrifices and perseverance of the Revolutionary War generation and honoring the power of people to pull together and overcome adversity during extraordinary times.
A new National Park Service report shows that 1.9 million visitors to Valley Forge National Historical Park in 2023 spent $27.2 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 411 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the economy of $44.7 million.
