Shelter Our History Campaign

With 1.6 million people visiting the Park each year, the construction of a new pavilion is vital to providing a welcoming haven for visitors, school children and recreational users. The Friends of Valley Forge Park is committed to helping build an open-air pavilion in partnership with the Park, who will do the necessary preparation and site work.

With an ambitious goal of $75,000, we got a strong start thanks to a generous contribution of $5,000 from UGI Amerigas. To date, we have attained almost 80% of the funding but need your help to reach our goal.

Impact of Your Support

A shelter will service the needs of a diverse group of individuals and groups:

• Provide a sheltered place for school groups to have lunch and a picnic area for Park visitors
• Designated space for family reunions and local business gatherings
• Increased capacity for outdoor classroom space and educational programs, such as Junior Ranger Camp, Join the Continental Army, Lunch & Learn, and ecology programming
• Sheltered spot for participants in recreational activities like the Revolutionary Run, community volunteer work days in the Park, plus more!
