Valley Forge Driving Tours

Valley Forge tour

Continental Army huts at Valley ForgeThe Valley Forge encampment is a hugely important story in the foundation of America.  After retreating from the Battle of Brandywine, General Washington moved his army to the high ground at Valley Forge in December of 1777.  Over the next 6 months, battling the cold, disease, desertion and famine, the army amazingly grew in numbers and strength and, with the help of Baron von Steuben, was transformed into a well trained fighting force, that ultimately went on to win the war against the British. 

A great way to see all of the Valley Forge attractions.

What You'll See

The drive out from the city takes about 30 minutes depending on traffic.  Our tour includes a drive around the The Valley Forge National Historic Park, which today is a beautifully kept and landscaped, natural setting, filled with deer and birds.  Regimental monuments dot the drive as well as re-creations of the huts used by the men (and women) who camped here.  You’ll have many chances to get out and wander among the huts, take photos across the park, and you’ll visit the site of George Washington’s headquarters and visit the Washington Memorial Chapel built in the early 1900s to commemorate this unique part of history.  Your tour guide will regale you with many stories and then take you to the Visitor Center, where you can see a short movie about the encampment, browse in the store and visit the museum area.
