Collections
Valley Forge NHP is the caretaker of a diverse collection of artifacts and documents related to the 1777-1778 encampment at Valley Forge and to the soldiers and officers who fought for our nation's independence. 

Officer's Quarters
Officers serving at Valley Forge often rented rooms in nearby houses sharing the residences with their owners. There was one exception, that of the headquarters. General Washington was able to locate his seat of operations in a rental property where the tenant was willing to move out. 

Exhibits
On display throughout the park are exhibits highlighting activities that took place before, during and after the encampment. Artifacts from the collections help to illustrate these exhibits. 

Library and Archives
The library collection consists of approximately 7,000 volumes including books, reports, theses, dissertations, and periodicals related to the Valley Forge Encampment and the American Revolution. The archives contain the park's administrative and resource management records as well as donated manuscript collections.
