Waynesborough (Anthony Wayne Estate)

Historic House

The ancestral estate of the Wayne family in Easttown Township, Chester County, where Anthony Wayne was born and raised. The Georgian mansion, built c. 1724, remained the family seat through the Revolutionary War. Wayne returned here between campaigns. The estate interprets Wayne's Chester County roots, his formation as a military officer, and his connections to the Pennsylvania gentry class that provided much of the Continental Army's officer corps.
