Washington's Headquarters

Pennsylvania


A major draw in the National Historic Park is this stone building, where General George Washington plotted his military and political maneuvers during his six-month stay in Valley Forge. There are historical and archaeological interpretive displays on-site, as well as in the nearby Valley Forge train station (restored c 1913). It's located near the intersection of Valley Creek and Valley Forge Rds.
