Historic house could be leased for private parties in plan under consideration by Valley Forge NHP
An estate house on the grounds of Valley Forge National Historical Park that dates to the 1700s would be open to private parties under a proposal the Park Service is seeking comments on.
Last year the two-story mansion was rented out for a 60th-birthday party as something of a test to see if it was worthwhile to make the Philander Chase Knox open to private parties for up to 200 people on a more regular basis. That event apparently went off well, as park officials are now proposing to lease the mansion for private affairs throughout the year.
