During the
Revolutionary War, General George Washington
campaigned throughout Pennsylvania.
Perkiomen Township, located in
southeastern Pennsylvania, was one of those
places that General Washington stopped.
While researching one of the sites in
the Township, Richard Kratz contacted Dr.
Laura Sherrod and the Geophysical Society of
Kutztown University (GSKU) in the summer of
2016 requesting a geophysical investigation
of an area where General Washington and his
troops may have stayed.
The request was to investigate the
location of a building foundation where
General Washington’s base of operations
was located in the Township.
Initial surveying was performed in
January 2016, with follow-up surveys in
September 2016 with students of
GEL 358.
