The token is half dollar size and bronze in color. The front has a profile of George Washington and a boarder-George Washington on top and 1732-1799 on the bottom. The back has a picture of Valley Forge Building with the dates 1771-1778 under the building and the border reads -Washington Headquarters Valley Forge PA. Any information about what this is ,where it is from and if it has any value would be great? Thank You.

Welcome!
A pic would help a lot. The George Lovett Washington Headquarters series has a portrait with a border, but without Washington's dates:

Valley Forge became the first State Park in Pennsylvania 120 years ago, and has had tourists before there were automobiles to carry them. I'm sure it has had souvenir tokens for nearly that long, of varying quality (for instance, Washington's army spent a long winter there, but it wasn't 7 years long! I assume they meant 1777-1778). Now a much larger National Park, the original preserve was centered on the building that was used as Washington's Headquarters. I can vouch for the good likeness of that structure on this token; I was married across the road from it!
