Valley Forge National Historical Park
Situated in Upper Merion Township is Valley Forge where George Washington and the Continental Army spent the winter of 1777-78. The bucolic park, with its many historic locations, is also home to over 20 miles of biking trails that wind through hills and fields like the Joseph Plumb Martin Trail and Chapel Trail, which passes Washington Memorial Chapel. In addition to looping through the park, these trails also provide connections to other points in Montgomery and Chester Counties.
