Valley Forge, Pennsylvania
We did a driving tour thru Valley Forge National Historical Park. Valley Forge was a turning point in the Revolutionary War. General George Washington decided to have his troops spend the winter at Valley Forge, a day’s march from Philadelphia, which had been taken by the British. That winter the troops were trained and prepared for the fight ahead, though it was a very difficult winter and supplies were low, as Private Joseph Plumb Martin wrote, “We were determined to persevere.” How grateful I am that they did persevere!!
