Description
A classic Pennsylvania farm manor house, Waynesborough was the 18th century home of the Revolutionary War hero, General Anthony Wayne. Wayne served with George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, led the Pennsylvania Line in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, weathered the Valley Forge encampment and fought at Monmouth. He was elevated to the status of national hero after his decisive victory in 1779 at Stony Point on the Hudson River. The nickname Mad Anthony , for which he is remembered, was thought to have been earned by Wayne for his battlefield bravery and ruthlessness.
