Alt Text Map of Valley Forge National Historical Park in Pennsylvania. The park is highlighted in light green, squarish at the bottom and round and rough around the top, like a head of broccoli. The surrounding land is pale green with major roads noted in clay pink, the cyan blue Schuylkill River hooks across the top and through the park. Extended Description US Highway 422, also labeled Pottstown Expressway, runs south from the top of the map, crossing Perkiomen Creek, Pawlings Road and Audubon Loop Trail. It snakes east across the park, and south again, crossing the Schuylkill River and Norfolk Southern Railroad at Sullivan’s Bridge. South of the river, US Highway 422 leads to Valley Forge Road, which runs west, running into the park to the Encampment Tour, denoted in cobalt blue. US Highway 422 continues south of the park entrance, intersecting with Interstate 76 near North Gulph Road, and connecting with US Highway 202 at the bottom right corner of the map. Interstate 76 runs from the bottom left edge of the map with a note: “To Harrisburg.” It runs east-northeast, serving as the southern border of the park as it crosses Baptist Road and Thomas Road, then crosses US Highway 422 at North Gulph Road. It forks, continuing east as Interstate 276, and southeast as Interstate 76. Exit 326 is noted along Interstate 276 with a note: “Valley Forge.” Exit 327 is noted along Interstate 76, just south of Tollgate Plaza. Valley Forge National Historical Park – North of the Schuylkill River North of Sullivan’s Bridge, US Highway 422 connects with an unnamed road that runs west to a boat launch and Betzwood Picnic Area (picnic area and restrooms) near a gray dashed line labeled “Schuylkill River Trail (Valley Forge to Philadelphia).” The trail runs mostly parallel to the river from off the right edge of the map, across the highway, past the picnic area, across the park, then runs north, following the expressway out of the park, connecting with Audubon Loop Trail, crossing Perkiomen Creek, and running north off the map. A gray dashed line labeled “River Trail” runs along the northern bank of the river to a small white square labeled “River Trail Parking Area” at the northwest corner of the park, where Pawlings Road meets the river. A gravel road runs south from Pawlings Road to a small black rectangle labeled “barn.” Note: “Pawling Farm was one of the Continental Army commissaries and the major campsite of the army after the troops shifted to outlying locations on June 9, 1778.” Valley Forge National Historical Park – The Encampment Tour State Route 23 runs west from US Highway 422 into the park, leading to two pale yellow parking areas with small black rectangles around them, one with a green callout box labeling the Visitor Center, which has restrooms, wheelchair access, and food service. Two other rectangles are labeled “theater” and “park administration.” Stop 1, marked with an olive-green numbered circle, is noted near the Visitor Center. The Encampment Tour, noted in cobalt blue, starts south of the small parking area near the Visitor Center, following North Outer Line Drive west (one-way). The Joseph Plumb Martin Trail runs alongside. It first passes Redoubt 2, two Redans and Redoubt 5, leading to Stop 2, “Muhlenberg's Brigade.” The tour continues southwest, crossing Gulph Road, leading to Stop 3, “National Memorial Arch.” Note: “Washington’s troops arrived December 19, 1777, over Gulph Road from Gulph Mills, southeast of Valley Forge.” The tour loops south and snakes west again, now as South Outer Line Drive, passing Pennsylvania Columns and Wayne’s Woods (picnic area and restrooms), leading to Stop 4, “Wayne Statue.” The tour loops north, passing Redoubt 3, and back south along Baptist Road, and then back west (one-way ends). It connects with Yellow Springs Road, which runs west through “Covered Bridge (1865; height limit 10’ 6” weight limit 27 tons).” Yellow Springs Road leads to an unnamed road that loops south past “PC Knox Estate (event venue)” and “Knox’s Quarters (not open to the public)” to Wilson Road (restrooms). Lafayette’s Quarters (not open to the public) are marked with a small black square within Wilson Road, Interstate 76, and Valley Creek. Continuing the tour north, it snakes along Valley Creek, passing the Upper Forge Site, and then the Lower Forge Site, then connects with Gulph Road. Following Gulph Road west leads to the Village of Valley Forge and the Post Office. Following Gulph Road east, it runs diagonally across the park, past the Grand Parade and Stop 3, connecting with Thomas Road, and ending south of Richards Road. Continuing the tour east, it connects with an unnamed road that runs back west, leading to a parking area with restrooms and a wheelchair accessible drop-off (no parking). This is Stop 5, Washington’s Headquarters and Historic Valley Forge Station (wheelchair access, begin visit to Washington’s Headquarters here). White squares all in a row are labeled “Commander in Chief’s Guard Huts.” Black squares on the west end note Washington’s headquarters, the stables, Potts Barn, and David Potts House. Continuing the tour southeast, it passes Redoubt 4 and becomes West Inner Line Drive, crossing back west over Gulph Road. It continues south, passing the Soldiers of New Jersey Monument and becoming South Inner Line Drive, snaking along Mount Joy. It runs southwest and hairpin turns back east, leading to Stop 6 near Redoubt 3. The tour continues north as East Inner Line Drive leading to Stop 7, where there are restrooms near Artillery Park. Continuing north and northeast, it crosses over Gulph Road, becoming North Inner Line Drive, snaking northeast past Conway’s Bridge and Redoubt 4, to State Route 23 and Stop 8, “Von Steuben Statue.” North across State Route 23 is Varnum’s Picnic Area (picnic area, restrooms, open seasonally). Continuing east, the tour passes Varnum’s Quarters (open seasonally), and Redoubt 1 (Star Redoubt), leading to Stop 9, Washington Memorial Chapel (wheelchair access) and Chapel Cabin Shop (food service). South across State Route 23 is the Maurice Stephens House (not open to the public). Continuing east, the tour passes the Patriots of African Descent Monument, then curves south, looping back to Stop 1, the Visitor Center.
