Washington's Headquarters (Isaac Potts House)
Historic House
The stone house Washington used as his headquarters during the Valley Forge encampment from December 1777 to June 1778. Built by ironmaster Isaac Potts, the structure is one of the few surviving buildings from the encampment period. Martha Washington joined him in February 1778. The house communicates the relative comfort of the commander's quarters in contrast to the huts where enlisted men lived.
