The Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site, also known as the Hasbrouck House, is a significant location in Newburgh, New York.

This site provides a glimpse into the past and the strategic operations that took place during a pivotal time in American history.

Historical Events at Hasbrouck House

The Hasbrouck House, part of the Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site, served as the headquarters of George Washington from April 1, 1782, until August 19, 1783, during the Revolutionary War. It was in this house that Washington made some crucial decisions that shaped the future of the United States. He rejected the Newburgh letter, which suggested the institution of an American monarchy, and successfully defused the Newburgh conspiracy, a potential mutiny among his officers over pay and pensions.
