Paoli to Valley Forge Trail Corridor

Trail

The approximate route followed by Wayne's brigade as it retreated from the Paoli Massacre site and later by the Continental Army as it marched toward Valley Forge in late November 1777. The trail corridor passes through Chester County farmland and suburban landscape, connecting the Paoli battlefield to the Valley Forge encampment. Interpretive markers identify the route Washington's army took in the weeks between the Battle of Germantown and the Valley Forge encampment.
