Each of the Cloister’s thirteen bays is dedicated to one of the original Thirteen Colonies. Beginning in 1905, the citizens of each of the thirteen represented states contributed the funds for the construction of each state’s bay. Unfortunately, the Cloister is showing its age. The copper roof has reached the end of its life, and stormwater has eroded and cracked the steps and stone pavements. Washington Memorial Heritage is raising funds for the restoration of the Cloister of the Colonies.

Thanks to a generous bequest by a donor, Washington Memorial Heritage was able to fund the rehabilitation of Patriot’s Hall.

What was once a staid meeting room has been transformed into a a ballroom filled with historic glamour, perfect for weddings and special events.

Thanks to support from generous donors, Washington Memorial Heritage’s Leadership Forum brings Colonial American experts to Washington Memorial at Valley Forge for presentations on military history and leadership. For more, please visit our events page.
