Valley Forge: A Winter Encampment 

I often think that we never would have fought let alone won a revolution with the type of spoiled people we have today. Those men back then we're hardy and courageous. We owe them a debt that could never be repaid.

My fifth great grandfather was there..Sgt. Timothy Sexton..

This is the absolute best park film which should be required viewing (repeatedly) for every American. The trials and tribulations our countrymen underwent at valley forge should never be diminished. WE all went through these trials, WE endured, WE the people saw through the continued humiliations to absolute victory, WE are the benefactors to the ‘remotest generations’ of the combined privations on valley forge- shame on all of us to allow any one of us to forget.

I love watching this when it snows

My 4x great grandfather survived the Winter at Valley Forge and also fought in the Battle of Monmouth.

Just visited yesterday for the first time. Had a great time and this video definitely helped. Makes me want to go back even more

Having camped here in scouts and rotary. I get a real sense of freedom watching from this for the first time when I was five. Huge fan of military history ever since. I recently got my ba in history from Rosemont college. This video I feel the soldiers being cold wet and hungry. As have been all three as a scout. Now a scout leader cradel of liberty council. Proud of pa to spark liberty in more than one spot in the state. Then to the nation we are still trying to perfect.

Thank you for your videos...we thoroughly enjoy watching them. All very well done!

There were three different versions of this awesome film. The original was done in the 1970s, it was revised in 1982 and the one here was revised in 1991 or 1993. It was was shown both in the parks large theatre building and for a short time, also in a small screening room in the welcome center. Until 2006 it was shown on an Elmo CX-350 16mm projector and film tree until they switched tp DVD in 2007. I have some awesome pics of the old film system that I would love to share here but RU-vid won’t allow me to post pix in the comments. Can anyone help!?!

2022! REVOLUTION WON! TIME FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE MIND AND ACTUALLY USE THE CONSTITUTION!

Ummm folks, KEEP THIS IN MIND: "The climatic conditions the Continental Army faced at Valley Forge and a year later at Middlebrook, N.J., were mild compared to those they endured at Morristown during the *_harshest winter in American history January 1780_* . {my emphasis} *_“Those who have only been in Valley Forge and Middlebrook during the last two winters, but have not tasted the cruelties of this one, know not what it is to suffer...”_* wrote *Baron Johann de Kalb*, a German soldier who served as a major general in the Continental Army. Not to detract from these Veterans honorable service at Valley Forge.... but .... keep in mind. (my ancestor served 1775 - 1783 both at Valley Forge AND Morristown Huts 1780 as mentioned above.) Keeping it real.

Why hadn’t most people at this point, living in this climate, thought of covering themselves with something like deer skin or another type of animal skin to keep warm? It would seems to be a lot better than the rags they wear.

Let it be a lesson dont join the army join the air force....👍

Fake News?? What in the hell are you taking about Johnny Casteel??

I love America , our constitution and what it stands for. I’ll fight to the last breath to keep it free and sacrifice all for its prosperity so our children may live with freedom. ~\_(•.•)_/~

VF Park is in need of a reimagining. If you look at what they did at Gettysburg, it’s a much more immersive experience. You have a world class visitors center, observation towers, superior battlefield markings, and the best rangers anywhere. VF has a couple of huts and a nasty casino down the street. The renactors at VF are standoffish and snobby. VF is basically an overgrown walking trail. It’s an embarrassment.
