In lieu of its monthly program in November, the Society is encouraging you to honor our vets by attending the program at Valley Forge.

Veterans Day Commemoration
November 11

There is no place better suited to honor America’s military men and women than in the birthplace of the Continental Army. Valley Forge National Historical Park celebrates veterans with a full day of programming that includes a commemoration service, historical demonstrations and reenactments, trolley tours and ranger-led walks.

Valley Forge National Historical Park will commemorate the Continental Army’s legacy, and honor all of America’s military, past and present, with special events throughout the day.

Please join the King of Prussia Historical Society at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 14, at Christ Church (Old Swedes) when Upper Merion High School Social Studies teacher, Matthew Mitchell, presents “The Eastburn Estate Restoration.“ The estate is located off of East Valley Forge Rd. It encompassed about 250 acres that were purchased from the Norris family during two different transactions in 1732 and 1740.  The home’s seven fireplaces were especially important during the fall and winter months as the home’s main source of heat.  The estate included a plethora of fruit trees that produced goods that were sold at markets in Germantown.

Mr. Mitchell, a graduate of Upper Merion High School and a young historian himself, believes that the role of an educator is to help shape young adults into life-long learners.
