The following is a list of buildings or locations that served as headquarters for General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.
Washington's headquarters staff consisted of a military secretary, initially Colonel Joseph Reed, followed by four aides-de-camp, William Palfrey, Stephen Moylan, Richard Cary, and Robert Hanson Harrison.
Topography and geographical features were exploited to protect a headquarters—before and after the Battle of Germantown, Washington stayed at the Henry Keely House,[1] atop a plateau on the west side of the Perkiomen Creek, while the Continental Army camped on the east side of the creek at Pennypacker Mills; between Washington and the British Army.
Washington's correspondence and expense accounts are useful sources for determining his location on a specific date.
For instance: an expense account entry that lists meals – but not "use of house" – likely indicates that Washington and his staff pitched their tents on the owner's property.
