Great Valley House Of Valley Forge, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania
The Great Valley House of Valley Forge Pennsylvania.
Older than the house George Washington stayed at during the Valley Forge encampment, this 300-year-old stone farmhouse is a five-minute drive to Valley Forge National Park. The house retains original fireplaces, random-width wood floors, and hand-forged nails. Note the hand-forged iron hinges and other historical features which your hostess, Pattye Benson, will be happy to describe. One unique item is an old stone sink, said to be one of only two such pre-1700 sinks in the country. As you enjoy breakfast there may be, depending on the weather, a fire in the old kitchen walk-in fireplace. It still has its original swing crane and carved in the 300 year old mantel you can see the initials W.T. 1812.
A full gourmet breakfast is served in the pre - revolutionary old kitchen.
