[edit] Chapel Section

Let's discuss here. I don't know who owns the train stations (there's another near Betzwood).

Actually the Chapel is more than a spiritual destination. The bottom of the Carillon tower houses a list of (all?) the patriots from the American Revolution. I'm thinking a park visitor perspective is needed on what needs to be mentioned in the Park article, i.e. someone with an interest in the Revolutionary war period. And the interaction of the park trail and the Chapel walkway would have equal ties to both articles. I'm inclined to add back exactly what I had about the carillon and trail/walkway. I was planning on adding the scrolls, after a bit of research, but the text had magically disappeared. --J Clear 03:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

  • The scrolls stuff went to the chapel article (I think). I'll leave the section to you ... but I think it should be no more than a long paragraph - all the best features should be in the article. --evrik 03:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I like the work done on the chapel section, can you help strengthen that article? --evrik 22:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

This is a source for good photos and information:

If possible, we should upload more of the photos to Commons:Category:Valley Forge, like what was done with Image:Washington Memorial Chapel.jpg. --evrik 15:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resource

Here's an excellent resource on the park: -- VALLEY FORGE:Making and Remaking a National Symbol http://www.nps.gov/archive/vafo/treese/treeset.htm Alphageekpa 23:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Yup, which is why we used it already (see the footnotes). Seriosuly though, it has a lot of good historical information we haven't begun to use. --evrik 23:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Use carefully as it is not PD, NPS is using it with permission. --J Clear 00:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
