Washington's Headquarters at Newburgh, New York
This placid 19th-century scene depicts George Washington's former military headquarters in Newburgh, New York. Washington lived in the fieldstone farmhouse from April 1782 to August 1783. Seven thousand American troops resided in the nearby New Windsor cantonment, where Washington delivered his famed Newburgh Address.
