If you’re looking to connect with history while enjoying the outdoors, make your way to Valley Forge National Historical Park. You can bike or walk along 6.5 miles of paved trails that wind through this former Revolutionary War encampment and state park, surrounded by monuments, historic farmhouses, and gently rolling hills. Be ready to pause—especially when the kids catch sight of the reconstructed log cabins, which are hard to resist exploring. Valley Forge is where George Washington and the Continental Army spent the harsh winter of 1777–1778. Today, the park spans 3,500 acres of meadows, woodlands, and preserved historical landscapes, honoring the perseverance of those who fought for independence and celebrating the enduring strength of community and renewal.
