The Ring House, Washington's Headquarters

Gen. George Washington used the Ring House, the home of the Benjamin Ring Family, as his headquarters the night before the 1777 Battle of Brandywine. Fire destroyed the original structure in 1931, but a replacement was built in 1949 and ’50. The rebuilt structure stands at the Brandywine Battlefield Park on Route 1 in Chadds Ford Township.
