Rock Ford Plantation
The Rock Ford Plantation or the General Edward Hand House is a historic house in West Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1976. Edward Hand was an adjutant general to George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.
==History==
Hand bought the land on which the plantation was built in two transactions, first purchasing in 1785 and later buying an additional in 1792. The Georgian-style brick mansion was built in 1794, and its architecture has since remained largely unchanged. All four floors conform to the same plan, a center hall and four corner rooms, as was typical of the period. The plantation stands on the banks of the Conestoga River, one mile (1.6 km) south of the city of Lancaster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania ) ''Note:'' This includes 〕
Today, the house is believed to be haunted by the ghost of General Hand's son, who allegedly committed suicide in the house around 1809.
