Free is fabulous, especially when you’re looking for fun things to do in your local area. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania offers plenty of activities and locations that won’t put a strain on your bank account. Here’s a list of three free activities in the county.
1. Visit the Valley Forge National Historical Park
There’s no fee to learn about the Revolutionary War history at this site. During the winter between 1777 and 1778, the Continental Army arrived at the Valley Forge encampment. Even though the troops were under General George Washington, they were lacking proper training. During their time here, they worked with a former member of the Prussian military. After staying about six months at Valley Forge, the army went on to successfully fight the British troops. Take a self-guided tour of the encampment area to see many of the park’s monuments.
2. Browse the Berman Museum of Art
Urinus College is home to the Berman Museum of Art, which opens its doors without charging admission. More than 70 sculptures are on the grounds surrounding the museum. Inside, the museum has rotating exhibits that range from portraits, paintings, and photography, as well as artwork by the college’s student artists.
3. Satisfy Your Curiosity at Asher’s Chocolate
