And lastly, famed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/vafo\/index.htm\">Valley Forge<\/a> where General Washington rebuilt the Continental Army to beat the British. So go out there and get historical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Visit the PA Dutch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly for our final destination, we have the home of the Pennsylvania Dutch. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverlancaster.com\/\">Lancaster county<\/a> is home to some of the oldest Amish communities in the country.
