Two of the biggest battles of the war were in Pennsylvania. Brandywine, on September 11, 1777, was Washington's attempt to halt a British march on Philadelphia. The battle was along Brandywine Creek south of Philadelphia, at Chadd's Ford of the Creek, and is sometimes called Chadd's Ford. The patriots lost, and the British captured Philadelphia. The Patriots tried to recapture Philadelphia by attacking and fighting a battle at Germantown October 8, 1777, but lost again. The British holed up in a large home made of stone, belonging to the Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Benjamin Chew, known as the Chew House, which still stands in Germantown, and the Patriots were not able to drive them out. After these battles Washington's army went into winter quarters at Valley Forge, west of Philadelphia.
General Washington's army spent the winter at Valley Forge, after losing a number of battles, including Brandywine Creek and the Paoli Massacre. At VF they trained and organized, becoming a more proficient fighting force which would eventually defeat the British.

Washington's army had spent the summer of 1777 fighting a string of losing battles. The Americans harassed the British army in skirmishes and minor battles for much of the fighting season. In the fall, the Americans showed pluck at the BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE in September and the BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN in October. Yet the Americans were unable to keep the British out of Philadelphia.
