Media Type: Photographic Prints

Notes:
Information from attached newspaper article:
Valley Forge's beautiful dogwood trees, blooming prettily but still a week away from their peak, lured thousands of motorists to the Montgomery County groves over the week-end. Officials said the flowering trees will be at their best from May 3 to 11, but unseasonable heat two weeks ago helped them bloom earlier. Aided by brilliant sunshine, visitors photographed the pink and white blossoms from every angle.
