Valley Forge was the winter encampment of the Continental Army, under the command of George Washington, during the American Revolutionary War. The Valley Forge encampment lasted six months, from December 19, 1777, to June 19, 1778. It was the third of the eight winter encampments that Washington and the Continental Army endured during the war.
Three months prior to the encampment at Valley Forge, in September 1777, the Second Continental Congress was forced to flee the revolutionary capital of Philadelphia ahead of an imminent British attack on the city following Washington's defeat in the Battle of Brandywine, a key battle during the British Army's Philadelphia campaign. Unable to defend Philadelphia, Washington led his 12,000-man army into winter quarters at Valley Forge, located approximately 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
At Valley Forge, the Continental Army struggled to manage a disastrous supply crisis while simultaneously retraining and reorganizing their units in an effort to mount successful counterattacks against the British. During the encampment at Valley Forge, an estimated 1,700 to 2,000 soldiers died from disease, possibly exacerbated by malnutrition and cold, wet weather. In 1976, in recognition of the enormous historical significance of Valley Forge in American history, Valley Forge National Historical Park was established and named a national historic site, which protects and preserves nearly 3,500 acres of the original Valley Forge encampment site.

An angle view of the forge. I have since added a two brick shelf to the front edge to sit the metal on for support. This NOT a portable item no matter what they say. Total weight of the bottom section is about 40 lbs

We walked around the Southern Gospel Music Association Museum. Then we ate lunch at Granny's buffet. Next we listened to Dolly Parton's relatives, Dolly's Family Reunion, play and sing at the Back Porch Theatre. We walked into and out of many shops in Craftsman Valley. We planned to see the "Wings of America" show, but bad weather caused the show to be cancelled. Then we sat by the lake watching the ducks and enjoyed a funnel cake with strawberries. Unfortunately, I lost 51 of my last pictures and won't be uploading them.
