Millstone Valley Scenic Byway
Rockingham, NJ

While the Continental Congress met in Princeton, Rockingham, a National Historic Site, served as General George Washington’s final Revolutionary War headquarters for almost three months in 1783. For eight years, Washington had served his country in the American Revolution, and as one of his last official acts, he wrote the Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States at Rockingham.

Furthermore, Rockingham’s house and grounds are preserved and interpreted as the temporary residence of George and Martha Washington. Physically relocated three times since 1896, Rockingham Historic Site maintains a fine collection of 18th-century furnishings, a children’s museum, and a Colonial kitchen garden.
