King of Prussia at a Glance
King of Prussia, a community named after an 18th-century inn, is located northwest
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A highlight of any trip is a visit to nearby Valley
Forge National Historical Park, an American Revolution site that honors the
sacrifices of the revolutionary war generation and offers tours of historical
quarters and displays of war artifacts. Located only minutes from the park, one
of the biggest shopping complexes in the United
States and the largest on the East Coast, the King
of Prussia Mall, is found. The mall includes over 350 specialty shops and
a number of major department stores, such as Bloomingdales, JC Penney's, Macy's,
Neiman Marcus and Sears. Other area attractions include Chaddsford
Winery, complete with a tasting room, and Longwood
Gardens, which features 40 indoor and outdoor gardens. Of course, King of
Prussia offers excellent access to Philadelphia and the plethora of attractions
and activities it holds.
