The links above will keep you specifically in or near Norristown, Valley Forge and King of Prussia in Montgomery County,
southeast PA.
The vistas at Valley Forge Historical Park are especially breathtaking, both in fall foliage and later in the season as snow turns rolling hillsides into the perfect place to go sledding or cross-country skiing. It was here that General Washington forged his Continental Army into a fighting force, during the difficult winter encampment of 1777-78.
America's past echoes through countless historic sites and homes in the Montgomery County area which trace the nations's growth. They range in size and grandeur from a 17th century log cabin to an 18th century governor's mansion. Whether you're planning a full vacation or a weekend jaunt, this is the perfect place to follow the trail of history.
Like the rest of Montgomery County, the town of King of Prussia continues to experience rapid development. The largest shopping mall in the United States in terms of space and size, the King of Prussia Mall, is located here. Also located here is the headquarters of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region.
The Schuylkill River Trail is a multi-use trail under construction for expansion along the banks of the Schuylkill River in southeastern Pennsylvania. Large stretches of the trail are rail trails. When complete, the trail is planned to run from the river's headwaters in Schuylkill County to Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, a distance of about 140 miles. On many maps and street atlases, and on some of the trail's signage, the segment between Philadelphia and Valley Forge is still identified by the older name Philadelphia-Valley Forge Trail.
