multifunctional ballroom that boasts more than 36,000-square-feet.
Royal Farms Arena, the city’s largest indoor sports and entertainment venue, can be used as a companion or flex space to the convention center since the two properties are just blocks from each other. The arena houses 11,000 permanent seats plus space for over 3,000 additional tem- porary floor seats. It is comprised of a main floor and seven connecting meeting rooms for smaller functions.
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania is home to world-class hotels, more than 300 meeting venues, and a host of restau- rants and team building opportuni- ties. With an abundance of history to explore, groups won’t want to miss Valley Forge National Historic Park, the site where then General George Washington and the Continental Army encamped during the Revolu- tionary War in winter of 1777-1778.
Reconstructed huts stand on the site of General Peter Muhlenberg’s en- campment and serve as a reminder to what life was like then. Washington’s Headquarters is a two-story stone building where he and his highest- ranking officers lived and worked dur- ing the encampment. Artillery Park displays rows of cannons on the site where Henry Knox and his artillery unit trained over the historic winter.
Groups can take advantage of a 90- minute trolley tour and experience the park with extended stops at Washington’s Headquarters as well as the Muhlenberg Brigade Huts.
The Patriot Trails, an interactive Revolutionary War History Tour, delves deeper into the history of the park and Revolutionary War-era sites situated throughout surrounding Montgomery County, PA.
The National Park Service opened a temporary Visitor Center within the
park during the $12 million renova- tion of its existing Visitor Center facil- ity. Here, attendees can visit the Encampment Store, the Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board infor- mation desk, participate in public tours, and view the park’s orientation film.
“The region uses Valley Forge National Historical Park in a number of ways, including tours of the park that are incorporated for off-site sightseeing, spousal programs and evening events,” said Marc Kaminet- sky, director of sports, tourism and convention sales for the Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board. “His- tory often is used as a theme for meetings and conferences - it’s very common for state associations that host conventions in the region.”
Historical reenactors, such as George Washington, have been known to make appearances for groups and can be an exciting addition as part of the
PlanA CONVENTION WITH A VIEW.
