    3. Thought you might be interested in a new government project. Last month I went to Valley Forge, as one of the representatives of the DAR, to participate in the announcement of a new museum that is being built on the Valley Forge Battlefield. There were federal and local representatives there and a George Washington in costume. A multimillion dollar check was presented by a national company to get it started. I can't find my information on which company at this time. The purpose of the new museum will be to focus on the whole Revolutionary War . The point was made that there are many sites for different battles of the war, but no one place to go to get a complete overview. It will be opened in different stages. The present museum was almost empty, getting ready for the first stage, then other buildings will be built. I have seen very little news on this, but watch for more as time goes on. I'm sure that this will give more on the battles in the south which really had a good deal to do with Cornwallis' defeat at Yorktown. Betty Silfies
