The Moland House, a mid-18th century stone farmhouse, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built, ca. 1750, by John Moland, a prominent Philadelphia and Bucks County lawyer. The House served as General Washington's headquarters during the Continental Army encampment of August 10 to August 23, 1777. Many Revolutionary heroes were at this encampment including Anthony Wayne, John Marshall, James Monroe, and Alexander Hamilton. It was here that the Marquis de Lafayette and Count Kasimir Pulaski joined the Continental Army.
The Moland House is owned by Warwick Township and is being restored and maintained by the Warwick Township Historical Society through grants from Warwick Township, State and Federal Government, private foundations and individual donors. Restoration began in 1997, and although it is nearly complete, a number of projects remain to be funded.
