Kennedy Mansion (Valley Forge), also known as Kennedy-Supplee Mansion, is an Italian-villa-style residence within Valley Forge National Historical Park. Now squeezed between PA Route 23 and U.S. Route 422 (Pottstown Expressway), it once overlooked the 19th-century industrial village of Port Kennedy. Port Kennedy was named for Alexander Kennedy, a major figure in the American lime industry. Limestone was quarried from the Valley Forge hills and processed into lime, which was shipped on the Schuylkill Canal and, after 1849, on the Reading Railroad. The 1852 mansion and 1845 Port Kennedy Presbyterian Church, now on opposite sides of a highway, a former hotel and train station are all that is left of the village. Summary from the Historic American Buildings Survey: When John Kennedy built this mansion in 1852, it was the focal point of Port Kennedy Village. A fine example of the Italian Villa Style, it retains many of its exterior and interior features. The first floor rooms, large and well-proportioned, still possess their elegant details and the door and window enframements, which narrow, reflect the Egyptian Revival Style. The elaborate plaster ceiling decorations in the principal rooms are superb. They represent the ultimate in craftsmanship in a now almost lost art. Surrounding the main block of the house is a graceful porch with a concave roof supported by cast-iron trellises in a grapevine-and-morning-glory design. A balcony ornaments the second-floor facade of the tower.The mansion sits on a knoll, which originally overlooked the community and is one of the few structures to survive the decline of the lime and blast furnaces in the area. John Kennedy was born in 1815, the youngest of Alexander Kennedy's eight children. In 1842 he purchased the lime works at Port Kennedy, and built one of the extensive lime productions in the area. The lime industry and Kennedy flourished during Kennedy's lifetime. The village also included a three-story hotel, a blast furnace with stone house and workshops, a Reading Railroad station, and the Presbyterian Church, a handsome stone structure built in 1845. John Kennedy died in 1877. His widow remained in the house until her death. Six owners followed. Additions were made to the house ca. 1920, and about 1950. The structure was remodeled into apartments. The National Park Service acquired the property in 1978. The Kennedy Mansion is located in Valley Forge National Historical Park. From 1911 to 1936, the mansion was owned by J. Henderson Supplee, at the time of his death, one of the last Civil War veterans in Montgomery County. It later served as the Port Kennedy Inn, and a boardinghouse. U.S. Route 422 (Pottstown Expressway) was constructed through the property in the 1960s. Adjacent Valley Forge State Park became Valley Forge National Historical Park in 1976. In 1978, the National Park Service acquired the mansion through eminent domain, and used it to house Park employees. In 1986, Kennedy Supplee Associates LP signed a 55-year lease with the park service, restored the building, and operated it as the Kennedy-Supplee Mansion Restaurant. The private company entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2005, and auctioned off its assets in April 2006. The mansion is now vacant.

Port Kennedy was an industrial village located where U.S. Route 422 (Pottstown Expressway) now crosses the Schuylkill River in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. Built along the Schuylkill Canal and, after 1838, the Reading Railroad, the village was a center for the lime industry in the 19th century. It was named for Alexander Kennedy, the owner of the quarries and kilns. Beginning in 1871, a number of important fossils were unearthed at Port Kennedy. The location of the find was forgotten until 2006, when the Port Kennedy Bone Cave was rediscovered. Planning for U.S. Route 422 between the Schuylkill Expressway (Interstate 76) and Trooper Road began in 1964. Most of the village was demolished for construction of the superhighway and Betzwood Bridge, which opened to traffic in 1967. In 1978, the National Park Service seized the land west of the superhighway through eminent domain to expand Valley Forge National Historical Park. Today, U.S. Route 422 separates the First Presbyterian Church of Port Kennedy (1845) from the Kennedy Mansion (1852). They, along with the Reading Railroad station and one house, are the only surviving buildings from the village.

Fatland (Audubon, Pennsylvania) – also known as "Fatland Farm," "Fatland Ford" and, currently, "Vaux Hill" – is a Greek Revival mansion and estate in Audubon, Pennsylvania. Located on the north side of the Schuylkill River, opposite Valley Forge, the property was part of the Continental Army's 1777-78 winter encampment. On consecutive days in September 1777, its stone farmhouse served as headquarters for General George Washington and British General Sir William Howe. The farmhouse was demolished about 1843, and the mansion was completed on its site about 1845. The Wetherill Family owned the property for 121 years—1825 to 1946. A private cemetery contains the graves of some of Fatland's owners, and of Free Quakers who supported the Revolutionary War.

The Moore-Irwin House in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, US is the estate previously owned by John and Jane Moore, which they loaned to General George Washington's Continental Army for the 1777–1778 winter encampment at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War. Washington designated it as General Peter Muhlenberg's headquarters throughout the encampment, and Washington also returned to stay there during a rare break in the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Washington lodged here during his two-day fishing trip and tour of the former encampment site, and met there with two other Founding Fathers, Gouverneur Morris (the "Penman of the Constitution") and Robert Morris (the “Financier of the American Revolution”) before returning to Philadelphia on August 1, 1787, six days prior to the first draft of the United States Constitution being presented to the other Founding Fathers. The estate is owned by Upper Merion Township, and sits a half mile outside Valley Forge National Historical Park. The property and home are also significant for many reasons over centuries. While prominent architect Alexander D. Irwin, founder of Irwin-Leighton Construction, owned the property in the early to mid-1900's he partnered (twice) with renowned architect Richardson Brognard Okie, known as a leader in the Colonial Revival style, and his restoration of other significant and historical properties such as The President's House, the Betsy Ross House, and Pennsbury Manor, the country estate of William Penn, to preserve and enhance the Moore-Irwin home. The surrounding 4.8 acres of the Moore-Irwin House are also home to a level one arboretum, the Silas T. Burgess Arboretum, which has ten historic trees listed as Champion Trees of Pennsylvania. In years prior to "Winter Quarters Farm" owner A.D. Irwin selling the remaining property to Upper Merion, he sold several parcels for use as the King of Prussia Business Park (now the KoP District, partially known as Moore Park), the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange (adjacent to the King of Prussia Mall, formerly The King of Prussia Plaza & Court, and the original King of Prussia Inn, which all helped enable King of Prussia, Montgomery County and surrounding regions to become a large hub of people, communities, innovation, commerce, traffic, tourism and history. Upon Upper Merion Township acquiring the final 4.8 acre parcel and home in 1972, they initially used it as the Upper Merion Cultural Center / Park and Recreation Headquarters, which hosted the first "Concert Under the Stars", was home to the five-county area school leaf collections, painting, nature projects, field trips, sleepovers, fishing (Trout Creek), hiking, Halloween trails, science and art shows, plays, cultural, historical and community events. The house has been assigned a Determination of Eligibility (DOE) by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, for listing on the National Register of Historical Places.
