Through History (NAPSA)—Those seeking memorable outdoor experiences can find one-of-a-kind destinations—many with a Colonial feel—in the Valley Forge and Montgomery County area of southeastern Pennsylvania. Here are a few examples. *The 3,500 acres of Valley Forge National Historical Park include nearly 20 miles of marked trails for hiking, jogging or biking. The Joseph Plumb Martin Trail is a 6.6-mile loop past several historical landmarks. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania offers outdoor enthusiasts various historic sites to visit, like Pennypacker Mills, a Colonial Revival mansion along the PerkiomenTrail in Schwenksville. Visitors can glide over to the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove. There, canoes, paddles and life vests are available for a leisurely trip down the nearby Perkiomen Creek. Each trip comes complete with its own naturalist who can point out the area’s highlights. *Montgomery County also offers a robust network of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The Perkiomen Trail winds on a pathway that once held the tracks of the Reading Railroad.
