No one fought at Valley Forge in 1777. George Washington placed his troops at Valley Forge, PA, for the winter. Valley Forge was close to where the British camped so Washington could keep tabs on the British. But Valley Forge was also a highly protected location using geographical features. So the American troops could defend the site.
Both Valley Forge and Gettysburg are in Pennsylvania. However, Valley Forge was the location of a 6-month long training encampment and there was not a battle fought at the location.
