Montgomery County Welcome Center Reopens At Valley Forge Park

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — The Montgomery County Welcome Center has officially reopened its doors at Valley Forge.

The Center is located in Valley Forge National Park's 5,760-square-foot temporary Visitors Center, where it will live until the Park's new $12 million renovations are complete.

The Welcome Center opened back upon Friday, Sept. 4. It offers visitors resources on local hotels, outdoor dining opportunities, information on golf courses, as well trail maps and the county's new Bike Montco digital bike route.

“Valley Forge National Historical Park is the gateway for visitors coming to Montgomery County,” Mike Bowman, President & CEO for the VFTCB, said in a statement. “The site is known nationally, and internationally, and has a significant economic impact - $46.5 million – on the region, and the iconic park attracts more than 2 million visitors each year. We know people are looking for things to do, and there is plenty happening right now in Montco. So, we’re taking every precaution to keep everyone safe and healthy, while helping to enhance visitor experience with information on exploring the rest of the county.”

Several safety measures are in place, including a protective screen around the welcome desk, social distancing floor marking, and more.

While trails at Valley Forge remain open, most building facilities are closed.

Renovations to Valley Forge's new Visitor Center are set to be complete by the end of 2020.
