It was at this site that the soldiers located supplies, built log cabins and huts, and dug miles of trenches for defense against a British attack. Nearly 2,000 men died during this winter while those who survived came out of the experience well trained for battle.
DVF members gather each summer for the annual Encampment to celebrate the year's accomplishments and tour Valley Forge National Historical Park. Our organization awards college scholarships, presents history awards to local students, and contributes to the Valley Forge Park Alliance.
