Pennsylvania Columns, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, circa 1936

About this postcard

Two tall granite columns crowned with bronze eagles flank a curving path through lawn and trees at Valley Forge. The Pennsylvania Columns, each inscribed with the names of the state's soldiers, were erected in the early 20th century to honor Pennsylvania troops; the site itself preserves the winter encampment of George Washington's Continental Army in 1777–78. The linen-textured coloring and the Curt Teich job number suggest a 1930s printing.
