Patriots’ Path: Explore the Revolutionary War in Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania invites visitors to follow the footsteps of soldiers, settlers, artisans, and citizen-leaders who transformed a frontier county into a revolutionary center of action. From military training grounds to iron furnaces, from political meeting halls to homesteads supplying the Continental Army, this trail reveals how Cumberland County’s geography, industry, and people played an indispensable role in America’s fight for independence. This is not a trail of single moments. It is a story of a community whose strength, ingenuity, and determination helped form a nation.
