So I just went to American Village too (because of course I had to go with her.) I really enjoyed it, and it was very fun! The man who played Geoge Washington looked a lot like the real one. Your comment kinda helped me understand a little more about American History, and what I learned about at American Village. We used broomsticks insted of muskets since we are only kids! I came with my mom (of course) and some kids and their moms from my homeschool groop called Calvary Christian School. I hope to go to the real Valley Forge like you did very soon!

We got to "be" soldiers in the Continental Army under Gen. Von Steuben's training, met the camp surgeon, who explained how battle wounds were treated in 1777, and square danced with Tory loyalists, who were baffled at this rebel nonsense. It was loads of fun, and this website provided a great supplement of details to our interesting day.
