Event information
The temporary Visitor's Center is open Thursday thru Monday 10-4., closed New Years Day and Christmas Day. We have been asked when getting the walk box to immediately take the box outside to register, stamp, etc. and not return inside until finished. The surface is partially on a paved multi-use trail, a gravel trail along Valley Creek out to a covered bridge built in 1865, and a natural trail along the Schuylkill River. The walk passes Washington's HQ's and the Washington Memorial Chapel.
