Dig wrapping up at Valley Forge park

VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (AP) — Archaeologists are wrapping up a six-week dig near George Washington’s headquarters in Valley Forge National Historical Park.

They believe they’ve found evidence of a dining hall that Washington may have used as a “war room” to meet with his top commanders.

Project head Joe Blondino says they’ve unearthed things like a musket ball, military hardware and broken pottery.

Historians believe the building may have been built to ease overcrowding in the cramped headquarters where Washington stayed.

The historic park is about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
