United States National Memorial Arch is a monument honoring the arrival of General George Washington's Continental Army at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78. The arch is located at the site of the former military camp, just 15 minutes northwest of the city of Philadelphia in Upper Merion Township. It is dedicated to the officers and private soldiers of the Continental Army and was designed by Paul Philippe Cret, designed to mimic Rome's Triumphal Arch of Titus. More than one million visitors explore the arch and its surrounding park grounds, which are overseen by the National Park Service, each year.
