George Washington’s Army Headquarters | Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts
Dave Stotts visits George Washington's Army Headquarters in this clip from Drive Thru History®: American Holidays. This historic site was of key importance for Washington during the Revolutionary War!
Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh, New York, was acquired and opened by the State of New York in 1850. It is the first publicly owned and operated historic site in the United States. Known as the Hasbrouck House, the National Landmark was restored to reflect George Washington's time there with his wife, Martha.
From April of 1782 to August of 1783, George Washington made his headquarters in this fieldstone farmhouse just above the Hudson River. It was the longest he stayed at any location throughout the 8 1/2 years of the Revolutionary War. During his time there, General Washington made some of his most important contributions to shaping the American Army and the American Republic that soon followed.
