Tree Planting Ceremony @ Valley Forge Park

Washington Memorial Chapel

Mount Vernon Horticulturist Dean Norton is delivering a historic and rare Tulip Poplar Sapling, that George Washington had planted on his Mount Vernon Estate, to Washington Memorial Chapel within Valley Forge Park.

The historic sapling will be honored with a brief 3pm Mass followed by the planting and unveiling at “Defenders Gate”, historic grounds a few hundred yards between the Chapel and General Washington’s Winter Headquarters.
