Driving Tour of Valley Forge National Park from Philadelphia

About this activity

Leave the driving to us and let our local guide escort you in our comfortable tour van for a half-day excursion through historic Valley Forge National Historical Park!

During the ride out to the park, your expert guide will discuss the early years of the Revolutionary War, and the events that led to the encampment at Valley Forge. When you arrive at the park, you'll have a chance to explore the Visitor Center, which boasts a wonderful exhibit that details the importance of this hallowed site.

Immerse yourself in the history inside the recreated soldiers' huts of the Muhlenberg Brigade. These structures give us an idea of the difficult conditions that soldiers had to contend with during the encampment.

Take your time while you view the National Memorial Arch, General Washington's Headquarters, and several other important sites.

Come and discover the incredible history captured in monuments throughout Valley Forge’s picturesque surroundings.
