Women at the Valley Forge Encampment

October 4 at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Historic Rock Ford’s Untold Stories of the Revolution Lecture Series presents “Women at the Valley Forge Encampment.” Over 400 women—and some exceptional ladies—wintered at the Valley Forge Encampment. Although much has been written about General George Washington’s leadership there, the transformation of the Continental Army, and the hardships suffered by the soldiers for those six months in 1777-1778, the stories of the women with the army are rarely heard. This presentation by Nancy K. Loane, Ed.D. will introduce you to the women of Valley Forge and give new perspective on the famous encampment.
This presentation will begin at 2 PM in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Prior to the lecture, attendees may visit the Snyder Gallery and our 2026 Focus Exhibit. The Snyder Gallery closes at 4 PM.
