The following is a list of buildings or locations that served as headquarters for GeneralGeorge Washington during theAmerican Revolutionary War.
On April 19, 1775, the militia of Massachusetts, later joined by the militias of other New England colonies, began asiege at Boston to prevent thousands of newly-arrivedBritish troops from moving inland.
On June 14, 1775, theSecond Continental Congress, meeting inPhiladelphia, created aContinental Army to be formed out of the individual militias of theThirteen Colonies. The next day, Congress created the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, and unanimously elected Washington to that position. Congress formally presented him with his commission on June 19, and he departedPhiladelphia on June 23, headed forCambridge, Massachusetts. He arrived in Cambridge on July 2, and took command. The siege lasted almost 11 months, until March 17, 1776, when the British withdrew by ship.
Washington's headquarters staff consisted of a military secretary, initially ColonelJoseph Reed, and fouraides-de-camp, initiallyWilliam Palfrey,Stephen Moylan, Richard Cary, andRobert Hanson Harrison. They managed Washington's correspondence, made copies of each day's general orders to be distributed to the commanding officer at each military post, and made copies of individual orders from the commander-in-chief.
Traveling with the headquarters staff and a troop of bodyguards, Washington tended to stay at military camps, taverns, houses belonging to Continental Army officers or sympathetic civilians, and vacant houses seized from Loyalists. Topography and geographical features were exploited to protect a headquarters. For example: before and after theBattle of Germantown, Washington stayed at the Henry Keely House,[1] atop a plateau on the west side of thePerkiomen Creek, while the Continental Army camped on the east side of the creek atPennypacker Mills; positioned between the British Army and Washington.
Washington's correspondence and expense accounts are useful sources for determining his location on a specific date. For instance: an expense account entry that lists meals – but not "use of house" – likely indicates that Washington and his staffpitched their tents on the owner's property.
