Explore the sights, sounds, and stories of the Valley Forge encampment during a visit to the brand-new museum exhibit located in the Visitor Center at Valley Forge, open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. As you move through the exhibit, you'll discover how men, women, and children from many different walks of life all struggled together during the winter of 1777-78, and how they perservered to ultimately overcome incredible hardships and march away from Valley Forge a stronger, more unified fighting force. The exhibit includes murals, interactive features, tactile elements, and hundreds of historic objects and artifacts from the park's museum collections. (And a life-sized model of George Washington riding a horse!)
