We have been to many churches and cathedrals in NY and in Europe. This one was nice but not the highlight of our trip.

Very authentic history here! And,...a beautiful church too. They have lovely weddings and still have services on Sunday. If you want to experience church here, you can. I did! Love the stained glass windows and the authentic interior of this fabulous church.

We were starving by the time we drove round valley forge and reached the Memorial Chapel. Stuck behind was a small shop, beautifully decorated for Christmas, selling lovely crafts, and offering a delicious bisque. We enjoyed a good snack and a lovely conversation with the lady behind the till.
