A recently revitalized Visitor Center is the perfect introduction to this beautifully preserved national park. Here, a self-guided exhibit and a fascinating documentary will detail what transpired on those hallowed grounds in the winter of 1777-78, how Washington’s men persevered in the face of horrific obstacles and how Washington himself grew into the legendary leader he would be remembered for.
-
The Muhlenberg Brigade huts in Valley Forge hold historical significance as they served as winter quarters for General Peter Muhlenberg's brigade during the American Revolutionary War in 1777-1778. These huts, constructed by soldiers under harsh conditions, provided shelter for troops enduring the severe winter at Valley Forge. Today, visitors can explore reconstructed huts and gain insight into the challenges faced by the Continental Army during this pivotal period in American history.

There are many unsung heroes of Valley Forge, but none had the immense impact like the Baron Frederich von Steuben. The man that Washington entrusted to reorganize and retrain his weary troops, von Steuben utilized the Grand Parade grounds to transform the Continental soldiers into a lethal fighting force. A statue of the man stands on a bluff overlooking the fields of the old Parade where, as many historians agree, the American army was born.
- The Artillery Park in Valley Forge played a crucial role during the American Revolutionary War, serving as a key logistical and strategic hub for the Continental Army's artillery units. Located within the historic Valley Forge National Historical Park, it features reconstructed artillery pieces and exhibits showcasing the artillery's importance in the war effort. Visitors can explore the park to learn about the training, maintenance, and deployment of artillery units, gaining a deeper understanding of the military operations conducted at Valley Forge.
