Traveller's Rest (Kearneysville, West Virginia)
Traveller's Rest — also known as the General Horatio Gates Home — is a historic house located near Kearneysville, Jefferson County, West Virginia. It was the home of General Horatio Gates. The eastern section was built in 1773, with the western added a few years later. The eastern section is a 1 1/2 story structure over a full basement, with a gable roof. It measures about 34 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The western section is also a 1 1/2 story structure with a full basement and measures about 16 feet wide and 30 feet deep.
Gates and his family sailed from England to Virginia in 1772 and bought on the Potomac River near Shepherdstown in what is now West Virginia. He built this limestone house and became a slave owner, a local justice, and a lieutenant colonel in the militia. In 1790, he sold the home, freed his slaves and moved to New York City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Americans.net )〕
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.〔
