Muhlenberg Brigade Hut Replicas
Landmark
Reconstructed soldier huts based on Washington's order specifying dimensions: 14 by 16 feet, housing twelve men, with wooden bunks, a fireplace, and a mud-and-straw chimney. Walking through the hut rows communicates the scale of the encampment — nearly 12,000 soldiers built approximately 1,500 such structures in the first weeks after arrival.
