​Protecting a Shared History, Preserving a Shared Landscape​

At Valley Forge National Historical Park, history and nature converge. These landscapes tell an enduring story of perseverance, community, and the birth of our nation.

As the official philanthropic partner of the park, Valley Forge Park Alliance bridges the gap between federal funding and the critical, on-the-ground needs of this sacred landscape. Stewardship isn't just about preserving the past; it is about ensuring that these open spaces remain welcoming, accessible, and thriving for everyone today and tomorrow.

National Public Lands Day is a collective act of care that strengthens our connection to the landscape and to each other. Through service and stewardship, we acknowledge our place as custodians of our beloved Park and ensure that the American tradition of public lands endures for those who will inherit them.

Caring for these spaces strengthens not only the landscape itself, but also the bonds between us as stewards of a shared American story, passed down through generations and carried forward into the future.

Your gift today will make a DOUBLE IMPACT. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Bentley Systems and Peoples Security Bank & Trust, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar (up to $10,000) from now through National Public Lands Day (September 26, 2026).
