Rockingham Historic Site
In the final days of the Revolutionary War, Rockingham became General George Washington’s last wartime headquarters, where he penned his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States. As he prepared to step away from military command, news arrived that the Treaty of Paris had been signed, securing America’s independence.

Know Before You Go
Following Washington's departure from Rockingham, the home's location changed hands and moved several times. Owned privately, it was situated near a quarry and was moved twice to avoid destruction. The home was eventually preserved at its current location in 1957, nearly 60 years after it was initially conserved.
