The Montessori Children’s House of Valley Forge is partnering with the United States Parks Service to restore a historic home and convert a barn into a working Pre-K and Kindergarten school. Portions of the existing structures date back to the era of the revolutionary encampment and are in the process of being placed on the National Registry. The design seeks to place an elegant insertion within the framework of the existing barn and house that both values and recognizes the historic fabric of the structures while extending their life by reintegrating them back into the surrounding community.
