Day 5- Battle of Germantown

The Battle of Germantown happened before Washington went into winter camp at Valley Forge.  But, what is unique about this battle is that it all concentrated around a mansion.  I was fortunate enough to go this mansion-Cliveden.


Inside the mansion, they actually still have evidence of the fight. Check out the musketball hole in the wall!




The Battle of Germantown was the FIRST time that General Washington had ever gone on the OFFENSE.
