An Evening Stroll at Valley Forge National Park, Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A

Valley Forge National Historical Park is located at 1400 North Outer Line Drive, King of Pruissia, PA. Its a place of historical significance and is spread over a large area. This was the site of winter encampment of the Continental Army under Gen George Washington in 1777-78 C.E (Current Era).

Few place to visit in the park are Headquarters of Gen Washington's, Muhlenberg Brigade Huts, Washington's Memorial Chapel and pictures of monuments and makers of the park.
The park opens at 7.00 a.m and closes 30 minutes after the sunset. The buildings in the park are closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year's Day. The visitors Center at the park remains open from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. Entry into the park is free.

There is an encampment store in the Visitor's Center where you can get refreshments, snacks, coffee, candies, granola bars etc. And a Cabin Shop for purchasing unique gifts, souvenirs.

We visited this historical park on a bright sunny day in summer during our stay in King of Prussia, PA.

Days are longer during summer, so the park remains open for longer period. There is much of walking in the park and is much suitable for walking / jogging.
This place is good for family picnics where elders and children play and enjoy in the green pastures. And they get to see few animals like the deer.
The vast stretch of green land with trees and blue sky or clouds in the back drop is worth watching.
During our stay in King of Prussia, PA, we visited this park in 2011. As we walked and walked, we could capture the beautiful pics of sunset in the cloudy sky.
I personally don't recommend this place for Indians, in particular, South Indians those who visit the U.S for a short stay. The reason, there are many more beautiful must-see places. But if you are a nature-lover and interested in the historical monuments, you can visit this place.
