The Henry Antes House, located in Upper Frederick Township, Pennsylvania, is a historic house museum built in 1736 by Henry Antes. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1992, it showcases intact original interior finishes and serves as a prime example of a Moravian settlement house.
This two-story structure, constructed with local rubblestone and featuring a gabled roof, holds significance as the former headquarters of General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War in 1777. Operated as a museum by the Goschenhoppen Historians, the Henry Antes House offers guided tours by appointment, preserving the legacy of Henry Antes and his contributions as a master builder in the 18th century.
