MUST-SEE MONTGOMERY COUNTY

History remembers Valley Forge as the site of the Continental Army's 1777-78 winter encampment. Today, Valley Forge National Historical Park is dedicated to telling the story of the encampment and the soldiers who spent the hard winter in Montgomery County. All of the trails and outdoor activities are pet-friendly.
