alley Forge is the birthplace of the American spirit and, with it, all the freedoms V associated with our way of life. Here, “Freedom of Choice” means being who you want to be…doing what you want to do…and going where you want to go…with so many great options! Our countryside represents some of America’s most significant historic sites, for sure. But it’s also a patchwork of great country and B&Bs; fantastic restaurants; fabulous shopping, from quaint villages to the East Coast’s largest mall; more gardens and arboreta than anywhere in North America; and exquisite museums like the world-famous and its unrivaled impressionists collection. Need more incentive? Valley Forge’s countryside charm is half-an-hour from the glitz and glitter of one of America’s most gay-friendly, hottest cities — Philadelphia. And it’s twenty-something miles from the Brandywine Valley…An hour away from Pennsylvania Dutch Country…and Bucks County. See it all from your Valley Forge hotel base and enjoy our country-style rates and free parking! The choice is yours. Choose Valley Forge!
