The Steuben Memorial honors,

 

Baron Von Steuben, whose valuble

 

wartime services were second in

 

importance only to those of

 

George Washington.

 

 

Baron Von Steuben, known as

 

"The drillmaster of

 

The American Revolution"

 

served his first tour of duty in 1777

 

at Valley Forge.

 

 

During the brutal conditions of the

 

1777-1778 winter is when Steuben

 

converted a ragged, starving army

 

into an effective fighting force.

 

 

In 1804, ten years after his death,

 

his remains were transferred to what

 

is known today as "Sacred Grove" and

 

marked with large, white monument.
