Historic Rock Ford's America250 Lecture Series presents "Valley Forge Celebrates the French Alliance" by Nancy K. Loane, Ed.D.
May 6, 1778 was a beautiful day for a celebration at the Valley Forge encampment. The alliance between France and the United States of America, important in supplying vital military and financial aid to the new country, had just been ratified. Now, Washington’s soldiers could hope that the war would soon be over, the Continental Army would disband, and they would go home.
This presentation will begin at 2 PM in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Prior to the lecture, attendees may visit the Snyder Gallery and our 2026 Focus Exhibit. The Snyder Gallery closes at 4 PM.
$10 General Admission; $5 Rock Ford Member
