This morning was an early departure day. We arrived at our campground early enough to visit Valley Forge National Historic Park, Pennsylvania.
We are reversing the order of our wars, visiting the Civil War Battlefields a few days ago and now the American Revolution (1775- 1783). We toured the encampment of the 12,000 man Continental Army of 1777 led by General George Washington.
A visit to his head- quarters was really special. Many historic buildings and museums require walking in designated pathways only and a “no touch policy” is strictly enforced. Here in this historic site, such a huge part of our American history, we were encouraged by park rangers to touch the actual stair banisters that were used by George Washington. It was quite an experience!
