List of Washington's Headquarters during the Revolutionary War explained

The following is a list of buildings or locations that served as headquarters for General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.

Background

On April 19, 1775, the militia of Massachusetts, later joined by the militias of other New England colonies, began a siege at Boston to prevent thousands of newly-arrived British troops from moving inland.

On June 14, 1775, meeting in Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress created a Continental Army, to be formed out of the individual militias of the Thirteen Colonies. The next day, Congress created the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, and unanimously elected Washington to that position. Congress formally presented him with his commission on June 19, and he departed Philadelphia, on June 23, headed for Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he arrived on July 2, and took command of the siege. It lasted until March 17, 1776, when the British withdrew by ship.

Washington's headquarters staff consisted of a military secretary, initially Colonel Joseph Reed, followed by four aides-de-camp, William Palfrey, Stephen Moylan, Richard Cary, and Robert Hanson Harrison. They managed Washington's correspondence, made copies of each day's general orders to be distributed to the commanding officer at each military post, and made copies of individual orders from the commander-in-chief.

Traveling with the headquarters staff and a troop of bodyguards, Washington tended to stay at military camps, taverns, houses belonging to Continental Army officers or sympathetic civilians, and vacant houses seized from Loyalists. Topography and geographical features were exploited to protect a headquarters—before and after the Battle of Germantown, Washington stayed at the Henry Keely House, atop a plateau on the west side of the Perkiomen Creek, while the Continental Army camped on the east side of the creek at Pennypacker Mills; between Washington and the British Army.

Washington's correspondence and expense accounts are useful sources for determining his location on a specific date. For instance: an expense account entry that lists meals – but not "use of house" – likely indicates that Washington and his staff pitched their tents on the owner's property.
