Tour of The Rockingham Historic House
Tour of The Rockingham Historic House Come along on an exploration of Rockingham's history, with an emphasis on the period as General Washington's Headquarters in later 1783. While the Continental Congress was meeting in Princeton, Rockingham, home of the prominent Berrien family, served as General George Washington's final Revolutionary War headquarters for over two-and-one-half months in 1783.

For eight years Washington had served his country in the Revolutionary War and as one of his last official acts wrote the Farewell Orders to the Armies at Rockingham in late October, in which he expressed his deep admiration and appreciation for the American army and announced his return to civilian life—renouncing any thought of kingship and ensuring the newly-minted country was headed in the direction envisioned in the Declaration of Independence seven years before. Come and see the beautiful house after its 7-month exterior renovation and join us for a tour of Rockingham and its 18th-century period-furnished rooms, with a special focus on General Washington's stay, including who accompanied him and
Moss Wall: Create a Window into Nature
Moss Wall: Create a Window into Nature Join the Blooms at Belle Mead Staff in crafting a "Window into Nature"- Moss Wall!
