It figured in history as the place where McCall was tar and feathered for his stance on the Stamp Act of 1765. It was shot at during the War of 1812. George Washington stayed at the house numerous times, and was the leader of Dr. Archibald Brockenbrough during the French and Indian War. Benjamin Blake Brockenbrough owned the house during the middle and late 1800s, during which time his cousin Judith Brockenbrough operated a school for girls after the American Civil War until 1875.
