Make a Birthday Card and Hat

Create a birthday card to present to General Washington and fold your very own “tricorn” hat so you can be dressed appropriately when you meet him. These crafts are located in the Meeting Room. Sponsored by The Encampment Store with support from volunteers from the Valley Forge Park Alliance.

Meet George & Martha Washington

Meet George and Martha Washington and wish the General a happy birthday. Pose for a picture in front of a replica officer's tent.

Eat a Cupcake (while supplies last)

Birthday cupcakes are donated by The Culinary Arts Institute of Montgomery County Community College and distributed by members of the Valley Forge Park Alliance.
