Liberia is a historic plantation house situated in Manassas, Virginia, United States. Constructed around 1825, this two-story, five-bay, Federal style brick dwelling stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of the era. Its parapet side-gable roof and a molded brick cornice with a saw-tooth design add to its unique charm.

Liberia's Role in the American Civil War

During the American Civil War, Liberia served as a headquarters for both Confederate and Union forces, marking it as a significant site in American history. Notably, Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, along with other statesmen, visited Liberia during the War, further cementing its historical importance.

Liberia House as a Museum

The City of Manassas acquired the Liberia house on December 31, 1986, with the intention of using it as a museum. The house is currently undergoing restoration and is open for special events and tours by appointment, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and experience a piece of American history.
