WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS
WHITE PLAINS NORTH, NEW YORK
Owned and restored by the County of Westchester.
Daughters of the American Revolution,
White Plains Chapter, Custodian,
This house stands on ground that was originally part
of a tract of 600 acres acquired by John Miller
in 1680. In 1770 his son, Elijah Miller added the
two rooms on the west. Three times during the
stormy days of the Revolution, Washington made
this house his headquarters during the Battle in
1776, in the summer of 1778, and in 1781.
The ancient sycamore tree at corner of house is
said to be about 300 years old, and must have
shaded this corner of the house when Washington
occupied the little bedroom. It won second prize
given by N. Y. State for historic trees, and is re-
corded in the Hall of Fame for Trees in Washington.
