Joseph Webb House

The Joseph Webb House was built in 1752 and served as George Washington’s headquarters in May 1781. It is where Washington met with French commander, the Comte de Rochambeau, to finalize the joint military campaign that led to the victory at Yorktown, ending the American Revolution.

The Silas Deane House

The Deane House (a National Historic Landmark) was completed in 1769 and was the home of Silas and Elizabeth Deane. A rising star in local and regional politics, Deane designed his house to serve as a power base for his personal ambitions.

The Isaac Stevens House

The Stevens House was built by leatherworker Isaac Stevens in 1789.  He had purchased half an acre of land on High (now Main) Street next to the Joseph Webb House three years earlier and began construction of his new home in 1788, completing it prior to his marriage to Sarah Wright in 1789.
