Randy, I am a bit BEHIND on watching your videos . . . so will start catching up! This Valley Forge family video is the kind you make that I enjoy most, as you know. The Smith Family Christmas Card! Two of my direct-line ancestors spent the winter of 1777 in Valley Forge. I have visited this site in the winter on purpose so I might get a sense of what it might be like. Everyone should do so, to understand the sacrifice soldiers made to win freedom for all of us. THANK YOU RANDY, JULIE, HAILEY, KAYLA, NATALIE, and SHANE for taking us along with you on your tour, .. .. .. Mike

Valley Forge is my local. I regularly walk/ hike there since it's just a mile from my front door. This park bookends very well with Jockey Hollow in Morristown, NJ, one of the winter encampments often forgotten about that made Valley Forge look rather tame in comparison.
