The museum, located in historic Philadelphia, features interactive exhibits and artifacts that interpret the Revolutionary War in a modern, engaging setting.
Exhibits of note include the Washington's Headquarters Tent, the original tent that General George Washington used as his sleeping quarters and office when the Continental Army first arrived at the Valley Forge encampment.
