The Army Heritage Center Foundation has united with community partners to unveil Patriots’ Path, a newly curated Revolutionary War Trail that provides visitors with a narrative of how Cumberland Valley residents – civilians and soldiers – played crucial roles in shaping Pennsylvania’s Revolutionary identity for the Nation’s 250th birthday.
