Jefferson County, WV, is home to several homes built by the Washington family. George Washington surveyed the area as a young man and encouraged his siblings and step-siblings to acquire land in the region. The Jefferson County Museum and the Friends of Happy Retreat are proud to present a rare opportunity to see inside the ground levels of four homes his relatives owned: Beallair, Claymont, Happy Retreat, and Harewood. Learn about these homes’ histories, occupants, and restorations.
