Author: Emma W. Crawford, W. Herbert Burk, Washington Chapel Guild
Year: 1908
Issue of monthly newsletter of the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, PA. This issue of the Washington Chapel Chronicle highlights the ongoing art and architectural achievements of the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge, including its recognition in a prominent Philadelphia exhibition and praise for architect Milton B. Medary, Jr. It features a detailed account of the notable Easter Day services, describing the impressive attendance, music, and festive decorations, as well as the involvement of local Sunday schools and the King-of-Prussia Mission. The issue spotlights the work of the Washington Chapel Guild—its origins, fundraising efforts, and contributions to the chapel’s maintenance and beautification, including the installation of a bronze altar desk. It also recounts the recent activities of the Chapel’s Building Committee and provides historical context for the newly dedicated “Pews of the Patriots,” focusing on the William Dewees Pew and the Dewees family’s significant role and sacrifices during the Revolutionary War at Valley Forge.
