I grew up in Wayne, Pa. Our house was adjacent to Valley Forge National Park. Across the the road from our house was the dilapidated and abandoned remains of the once sprawling property of revolutionary war hero Joseph Walker (I lived on Walker Rd). The main house served as Gen. Wayne’s headquarters during the Revolution.
We kids picked over the contents of the outbuildings and amassed quite the treasure trove of interesting items. What a wonderful way to spend a summer’s day, exploring where history was made.
Remember the haunted General Wayne Inn?
