Although it seems that fall color was late to arrive and short lived, Valley Forge National Historical Park has non the less supplied some nice views. Here is a sampling from a recent visit.

Fall in Valley Forge
Knox Covered Bridge, Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. Another view of the Knox Covered Bridge. View of General Knox’s Quarters from the Philander C. Knox Estate. Recently baled hay near the Knox estate. Historic pony truss bridge on Wilson Road over Valley Creek. Lafayette’s Headquarters, later used as a farmhouse and inn. Interesting to see three sections from different time periods. View of the hillside from the model airplane field at Valley Forge. -
Mascot Roller Mills and Around
Mascot Roller Mills in eastern Lancaster County is well worth a stop if you are in the area. The site of the well preserved water-powered grain mill welcomes visitors. More information can be found at resslermill.com. The William J. Morton Bird Sanctuary is adjacent to mill.
Mascot Roller Mills – the original mill on this site dated from the 1730s. 
The Ressler family home adjacent to the mill. 
The Summer Kitchen next to the Ressler home. 
The Groff Store-House across the street from the Mill. Once a local gathering place and store, it now serves as the offices and meeting place for the Ressler Mill Foundation. Elsewhere in Lancaster County, fall colors are on display …
The horses were enjoying the sunny day.

Fall Has Finally Arrived
It looks like the much delayed Autumn color has finally arrived to Chester County this year. I just hope the season isn’t brief. Here is a sample of some of this year’s color.
A corn field seems to be on fire in Glenmoore. 
It looks like this is what was growing on those stumps in the previous picture. This and another tree were next in line with the stumps but had not yet been cut. 
A beautiful farm in Coventryville. I always love the star on the barn. 
Another radiant fall cornfield and treetops. 
Scotts Run in French Creek State Park. It’s apparently a red and orange free zone. 
The barn at the Mansion at Hibernia Park.
