Such a delightful piece of history in the small town of Cumberland MD. Always maintained well. Only wish they'd 'open' it to the public.
Hard to get too. You must park at the visitor center and walk to it. No convenient parking. But worth it. G. Wash. used this building during his stay at Fort Cumberland before his ill fated trip with British General Edward Braddock during the French and Indian War
Was not overly impressive, but still interesting. The Bruce Inn where we stayed, we learned about Washington visiting that location. The headquarters is a small building with a mannequin of Washington reading his speech.
This little log cabin was just a few paces away from the Cumberland railway station, so we usually take our guests to the George Washington cabin after our train ride. The cabin is well restored, preserved. It enables young and old to imagine how George Washington lived during a time when this area was a true wilderness.
This small one room cabin is rather out of place by its surroundings but the recorded message is very informative about Gearge Washington and his cabin there. Also near the cabin is a monument to mark the starting point of the first National Road.
An interesting tidbit of historical significance. As long as you are in the area, it is worth a visit.
Short walk from the Marriott Fairfield and a don't miss for history buffs and George Washington enthusiasts.
We enjoyed a brief visit here. We could only look in the windows but there was an audio that gave the history of the place.
Some details to read and a couple of narrated things. I understand that sometimes they open up the cabin but we weren't there at the right time and there were no posted hours.
Anyone planning a visit should make sure that it is open and a tour guide is present. Usually, it's best to try to come during Cumberland's Heritage days festival. The tour guide will tell you a lot of interesting information that most people never knew about our founding father and first President. It is also located across Wills Creek from the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad station which is great if your a train buff or love scenic mountain views.
A wonderful piece of history in a beautiful park like setting. Very informative. No admission charge.
Located on a well signed (historical waysides) history trail, this site is very important for any true history buff. George Washington's military career both started and ended here, and if you're a Washington fan and/or just a serious history fan, perhaps chills will also run up your spine, as they did mine, while standing on the porch and looking in to the windows, of this very small one room cabin that at one time early in his career, Washington called home!
This place is a perfect spot to learn about Cumberland's history and the Revolutionary War!!! I remember every year during Heritage Days me and my parents would stop by and hear what the recording would say or a tour guide, it just depends on the hours. I recommend this place for anyone who is a history lover.
There is not much to this little house. It is what we would call today a one room efficiency. Unfortunatly it is only opne for reservations and special occassions. However, it makes you appreciate the hard life George Washington had to live during his military years. Plus while he was President he also used it when he came to Cumberland during the Whiskey Rebellion.
They were working around the HQ. building when we visited, and it was closed. But if we return to Cumberland, Maryland we will stop by to see it when the work is completed.It did look very small.Bruce H. RousH, Jr.
