Triumphal Arch

It is a amazing how many sites of American history are here in Philadelphia. Valley Forge is one such place. This arch stands there dedicated, "To the officers and private soldiers of the Continental Army." Nearby is General Washington's headquarters and the building is almost entirely preserved in its original state, right down to the handrails you use to go up and down the stairs. The same handrails Washington used. Unless he didn't use handrails, of corse. Who knows. Maybe I'll post a photo of them.
