General Washington's Headquarters at the Moland House Attraction Details
General Washington's Headquarters at the Moland House
http://www.moland.org/
In July, General Howe and 15,000 British troops boarded 260 ships to launch his 1777 campaign against the Rebel's capital city of Philadelphia. General Washington marched the main Continental Army to thwart the attack. But limited military intelligence forced the 11,000 Patriot soldiers to encamp on the Moland farm near the Cross Roads of York and Bristol Roads on 10 August. Here the Marquis de Lafayette and "Count" Casimir Pulaski presented their credentials and accepted lesser initial assignments. The Betsy Ross flag may have first flown here. On 23 August, the Army broke camp and marched towards Brandywine Creek. The original stone Moland House is being preserved and is available through tours, educational programs and events which present the encampment and its participants, as well as considering colonial rural society. A cross sample of archaeological artifacts are on display.
