About Us

The Steuben Day Observation Association of Philadelphia and Vicinity is a non-profit (501(c)3) organization dedicated to preserving German-American Ethnic Heritage and Pride and keeping the cultural bridge between German-speaking countries and the United States of America alive. It was founded in 1968, to commemorate and honor the accomplishments and contributions of General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who trained the Continental Army in Valley Forge and aided the American Colonies to win the Revolutionary War, and the countless Americans of German-speaking ancestery that have followed that shaped this country. The Association is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers from the various German - American clubs in the Philadelphia region and interested individuals.
