Worth a stop while visiting the park. If one door isn't open, keep going and try another. Chapel is beautiful.

This is a small but very beautiful Gothic style Episcopal church. The sanctuary was open when we arrived, so we sat in a pew for a time for quiet reflection. Just be aware that this is a church...

Visited the chapel for the first time today..Beautiful and welcoming! It was a perfect serene setting and full of great photo opportunities. The gentleman who reviewed it's history with us was an added treat! We will definitely return to enjoy a different season.

Located within the Valley Forge National Historical Park , both a national memorial built as a tribute to General George Washington and is an active Episcopal parish. Very impressive structure, inside and out. Came to visit the justice bell which is a close replica to the liberty bell, but was informed by the park ranger at the visitor center that the bell was taken for maintenance . The bell was created to promote the cause for women’s suffrage. Will try attend a service next time we pass by the area.

It's a very old church next to a field where a battle during Revolutionary War was held. It's historical. If you are a history buff you'll enjoy yourself. If your not It's kind of boring. It's just an old church next to a field with some historical plaques to read.

One of my favorite places to visit when in the area. The chapel is beautiful inside and out, and the history is interesting to learn from the docents. The stained glass windows are being restored, and most are completed, with only the George Washington window yet to be returned to the chapel. The grounds are also pleasant to walk around, and there’s a small snack and gift shop out back.

This is an absolutely stunning landmark that is a quintessential addition to the overall tour of Valley Forge. The architecture alone speaks for itself but the imposing stone structure boasts several interior areas and a cloister that is are a sight to behold. I have been here on a few occasions and it was only on my last stop that I visited the bookstore at the rear of the church. They have a good selection of various topics and I scored a book I'd never known about on the Lenape people that has filled a significant hole in my American history collection.
