Valley Forge 50/250 Celebration: Camp Life

When: Saturday, July 4, 2026 from 10am to 4pm

Where: Muhlenberg's Brigade

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Valley Forge National Historical Park and the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by immersing yourself in American Revolutionary Wary history at Muhlenberg's Brigade. Speak with reenactors, learn about the clothes, food, gear, weapons, living conditions, and experiences of officers, enlisted soldiers, women, and children during the encampment at Valley Forge and the American Revolution at large.

The park will be extremely busy this day. Please plan accordingly. More event-specific trip-planning materials and transportation information will be available in late Spring 2026.
