Valley Forge

One thing I do love about the East Coast is all the history and being able to visit and experience historical sites from the 1700s, the beginning of our country. Last weekend we took a trip to Valley Forge in Pennsylvania. Valley Forge was the site of a military camp of the American Continental Army over the winter of 1777-1778 during the Revolutionary War. George Washington was their Commander. It was crazy to see the cabins they built and lived in, very small and cold, since they lived there during the winter. Most of the men succumbed to starvation, death and disease.
