dc.descriptionOn December 1, 1779 Theodosia Ford again opened the house to Continental Troops. This time to General George Washington and his military entourage for what turned out to be a seven month long stay. While in the mansion Washington and his staff occupied all but two of the eight rooms. His staff official family included his wife Martha Washington, his aides-de-camp and a number of servants. For 200 days the Ford Mansion served as the nerve center of the Revolutionary War, where statesman, and foreign diplomats came to consult with the commander-and-chief.
