Fall Campfire Program – Communities at War
Saturday, October 5 at 7 PM
December 1777, the Continental Army arrived at Valley Forge to begin to set up their military encampment. The army fought around the Philadelphia area for months prior, relying on local communities big and small for supplies, shelter, and medical care. This program will look at a few of these communities, including Bethlehem, Lancaster, Lititz, and others that were involved in the cause of independence.
----------
