Stop at a tableau scene depicting George Washington breaking up a fight between members of the young American army in a snowy Harvard Yard, and see William B.T. Trego's iconic painting, March to Valley Forge, December 19, 1777, showing a hungry and cold Continental Army tracking bloody footsteps in the snow en route to their winter encampment.
