About This Place
The Ford Mansion served as Washington's headquarters during the Hard Winter of 1779-80. The adjacent museum houses one of the finest collections of Revolutionary War artifacts in the country, including weapons, documents, and personal items of Continental Army soldiers.
Revolutionary Significance
Washington chose the Ford Mansion for its size and location. From here he managed the crisis of the Hard Winter — desertions, supply failures, and near-starvation of his troops at nearby Jockey Hollow.
