The Webb House

The Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum maintains the buildings.

 

George Washington slept here: He spent five nights at the Joseph Webb House in 1781. While here, he met with French general Comte de Rochambeau to plan the battle of Yorktown, a military campaign that brought the Revolutionary War to an end.

 

Many years ago, Sears painted the Webb House for its Weatherbeater commercial. It's been painted since then, but looks like it needs some work.
