Valley Forge National Historical Park 
Valley Forge stands as the ultimate symbol of suffering, sacrifice, and triumph of the American Revolutionary War. During the winter of 1777-78 thousands of American soldiers died here after the British razed this key supply center. In return, Washington and some 12,000 soldiers contained the British Army in Philadelphia at the expense of starvation, poor sanitation and sheer cold.
