Rockingham Historic Site

Rockingham Historic Site Rockingham Historic Site Rockingham was the final wartime headquarters of General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

He was in residence there late August to early November 1783, while Congress met in nearby Princeton. Here, he wrote his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States, just before receiving word that the definitive version of the Treaty of Paris had been signed in September and the United States had indeed won their independence from Great Britain! The house is located on Laurel Avenue, between Rocky Hill and Kingston, New Jersey.
