A modest white clapboard farmhouse from 1769, built by William Harwood, that has been a field hospital in three different wars: the Revolution (Cornwallis's troops camped here in 1781 on the march to Yorktown), the War of 1812, and the Civil War, when the Confederate 32nd Virginia Infantry mustered on the grounds and the house was used to treat wounded after the Battle of Big Bethel.
The site is owned by the city and run alongside Lee Hall Mansion. The grounds host frequent Civil War reenactments. Inside, the rooms are interpreted to the 1860s and the slave quarters out back have been rebuilt.
