Valley Forge National Historic Park. Crazy thing about this: donât put into GPS maps to see where âValley Forgeâ is. Apparently it is a town south and west of us and less than 1/2 hour from our campground in Manheim, PA. Valley Forge, where George Washington and the army camped for 6 months during 1777-1778,...
