Last week, I spent a day at the Valley Forge National Historic Park in Northeastern Pennsylvania. A fine tour guide led a small group of a few people through the Isaac Potts House where George Washington and his staff spent six months during the winter encampment of 1777-8. Imagining Washington living and working in the house was not difficult. Period furnishings paint a picture of the way the headquarters would have looked and felt to Washington, his wife, Martha, and the other officers on his staff.
Driving through the park was quite pretty. I stopped now and then to capture images of the replica log huts, the cannon, the deer, and the rolling hills. Although there were very few people on the paths early in the morning, more walkers and joggers appeared mid-morning, and I enjoyed seeing horseback riders in the early afternoon. If you would like to see more of the photos I took of Valley Forge that day, please go to my Valley Forge Set on flickr.
