Valley Forge National Historical Park: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Valley Forge is the encampment site of the Continental Army during the winter of 1777-1778. The park features 3,500 acres of monuments including Washington’s Headquarters (a stone house on the Schuylkill River which he occupied 1777 to 1778), the early-20th-century National Memorial Arch and the Muhlenberg Brigade’s recreated log-cabin barracks. Originally Valley Forge State Park, it became a national historical park in 1976.
During the winter of it's use, shortages of food, lack of proper hygiene, sanitation, and medical knowledge of the time, over 2,000 soldiers perished. From scurvy to smallpox, dysentery, and other
nasty diseases, one out of every six soldiers that marched into Valley Forge in December did not march back out in June.
