National Historic Landmark- General Nathanael Greene Homestead

From 1774 to 1783, this two-story clapboard dwelling, which he designed and built, was the residence of General Nathanael Greene, who was among the most important generals in the Continental Army.

Greene began as a private in October 1774, when he helped to organize the Kentish Guards. He ended his career when he resigned from the Continental army in November 1783 as a major general.

During the interim, he participated in battles from Massachusetts to South Carolina, often in concert with Washington, whom he served as second in command.
