Preserving Valley Forge: A Family Affair

This special exhibition explores the pivotal role played by the Pennypacker family—across multiple generations—in safeguarding and shaping one of America’s most iconic historic landscapes: Valley Forge.

Located in the museum’s second‑floor gallery, the exhibit is presented in conjunction with two major anniversaries: the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the 50th Anniversary of Valley Forge’s designation as a National Historical Park, the only national park officially created on July 4.

Preserving Valley Forge: A Family Affair is included with all regular, guided tours of Pennypacker Mills. Admission is free to the public. The exhibit is located on the second floor of the mansion.
