Fort Mifflin on the Delaware is a National Historic Landmark on Mud Island in the Delaware River near Philadelphia, established in 1775 and best known for withstanding what many historians consider the greatest bombardment of the American Revolution, a six-day siege in November 1777 that helped Washington's army reach Valley Forge safely.

Today the fort hosts weddings, corporate events, charity fundraisers, and social gatherings across a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. Its bombproof Casemates can be turned into a wine cellar or speakeasy-style setting, while the Hospital Building, Bunk Room, and a riverfront picnic area with working fireplaces serve as options for meetings and private functions. Special-event bookings can include cannon demonstrations, interpretive guides in period attire, weapons displays, and ghost tours for a distinctly historic atmosphere.

Operating since 1745, the General Warren Inn is a historic tavern-turned-inn in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in the heart of Chester County's Great Valley. The property began as the "Sign of Admiral Vernon" and later took its current name in honor of Dr. Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War figure killed at Bunker Hill; over the centuries it has served as a stagecoach stop on the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, a Seventh-Day worship gathering point, and a temperance hotel before its 1984 restoration brought back its 18th-century character. Today the inn combines eight guest suites with several distinct event settings, including a main dining room, the Warren Tavern, and the Spring House Terrace, a secluded outdoor space built around a 275-year-old springhouse. The terrace's lower level is partially enclosed and heated for year-round use, while "Table 1745," set inside the historic springhouse itself, offers intimate seating for up to six guests with full bar and restroom access nearby. The General Warren hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, private parties, and corporate events, with an on-premise pastry chef available for custom dessert and wedding cake menus.
