Valley Forge National Historical Park was one of the most visited tourist attractions in the Philadelphia region in 2022, writes Todd Romero for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Overall, the 25 tourist attractions on the list, which were ranked by the number of visitors they attracted over the year, welcomed 20.6 million visitors last year. This came as the tourism industry in the region continued to make great strides in its recovery from the pandemic.

Compared to the previous year, in-person visitation increased by 104 percent, from 10.07 million in 2021 to 20.6 million visitors in 2022.

Valley Forge National Historical Park, where the Continental Army made its winter encampment in 1777-78 during the American Revolution, earned the fifth spot on the list.

The Montgomery County tourist attraction drew 1,645,298 visitors last year.
