Explore the roles of Bethlehem, Lancaster, Lititz, and other nearby towns in the cause of independence during the Revolutionary War.

The Valley Forge Park Alliance invites you to a Lunch & Learn featuring Russell Brindley, Park Guide at Valley Forge National Historical Park.
In December 1777, the Continental Army arrived at Valley Forge to set up their winter encampment. As they fought in the Philadelphia area, they depended on local communities for essential supplies, shelter, and medical care. This program will explore the vital roles that Bethlehem, Lancaster, Lititz, and other towns played in supporting the cause of independence.
Please bring your lunch and curiosity, and join us for a fascinating discussion on Revolutionary War history!
