Center to focus on Revolution
Organizers of an ambitious project to create the nation’s leading educational and cultural institution about the Revolutionary War unveiled design plans Tuesday for the museum, set to open in 2006.
Carved into a cliff, the American Revolution Center at Valley Forge will feature three floors of exhibits and a terrace that looks onto a field where George Washington’s troops trained for some of the war’s most critical battles.
The $100-million museum will hold more than 460,000 artifacts from its own collection and that of Valley Forge Historical Park.
