Jockey Hollow
Jockey Hollow, the site of General Washington’s winter encampment in 1779-1780, played a key role in forging the Continental Army's strength and unity. The nearby Wick House, once home to Major General Arthur St. Clair, now stands as a historic landmark, offering a glimpse into the hardships and strategies of that fateful winter.

The National Park Service acquired the land for Jockey Hollow in 1933 in the final days of Herbert Hoover's Presidency. Although the site was also occupied by Continentals in 1776-1777, the park interprets the winter encampment of 179-1780.
