  • The Colonial Springs Bottling Plant operated from roughly about 1895 to 1930 and provided natural spring water bottled up and ready to deliver. In the early 1900s Charles Hires of Hires Root Beer purchased the building and shortly after the building and land was sold back to the park.
    Since then it has been left to fall into ruins.
    Now, we will explore these woods and this historic location.

    When we went last summer, we found these trails to be the best part of the area. The main part is pertinent history, but it is very touristy. We never went up Mount Misery as my wife was done. Thanks for sharing! You've earned a new subscriber!

    Thank goodness you found your way out. They would have to get a search crew to find you. It’s absolutely fascinating how the labor was put into this place and in a place that isn’t easy to get to.

    Very cool! I grew up in that area and have been to Valley Forge National Park several times and never knew about that trail with the bottling plant. Thanks for sharing.

    Omg when reading up about the bottling plant - it’s so rich in history. Super interesting - what a historical site. Shame it isn’t made into a museum

    Why is it called Mt. Misery? I wondered. Then I found: “William Penn named the hill Mount Misery after he got lost in the woods on his way back from meeting with Natives in 1701.” And “The names of the two prominent hills at Valley Forge, Mount Misery and Mount Joy, reflect the challenges the Continental Army faced during their six-month encampment.”

      So while I was lost in those woods for almost an hour....I was in good company in having done the same as William Penn. LOL
