The Great Valley House of Valley Forge  

""Did George Washington sleep here?" is a question often asked by visitors to The Great Valley House of Valley Forge Bed and Breakfast. Older than the house George Washington stayed at during the Valley Forge encampment, this 300 year old stone farmhouse is a five minute drive to Valley Forge National Park. The house retains original fireplaces and random-width wood floors. Note the hand forged iron hinges and other historical features which your hostess, Pattye Benson, will be happy to describe. One unique item is an old stone sink, said to be one of only two such pre-1700 sinks in the country. As you enjoy breakfast there may be, depending on the weather, a fire in the old kitchen walk-in fireplace. The fireplace still has its original swing crane and carved in the massive mantle you can see the initials W.T. 1812"

Children are welcome.
