Soldier's Rest is a historic farmhouse located in Berryville, Clarke County, Virginia. It was constructed about 1780[2] for the family of William Morton. The property was later owned, and expanded upon, by Daniel Morgan, a general in the American Revolution. The property was also owned by Col Griffin Taylor, a veteran of the War of 1812. The fact that it was owned by two soldiers gave the home the "Soldier's Rest" moniker.[2] [3]
Prior to the current house being built, a smaller one stood some 200 yards away, and said to be the place where George Washington stayed when he was surveying the land here for Lord Fairfax in 1748.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
