The Jonathan Hasbrouck House (1750), Washingtonâs headquarters, is now a state historical site with an adjacent museum. Nearby are the New Windsor Cantonment (a reconstruction of a winter camp of the Continental Army) and the preserved headquarters (the John Ellison House, 1754) of General Henry Knox.
