Thomas
Moore House
Believed
to be the second oldest surviving house in town (after the
log cabin on the banks of the Brandywine). The Thomas Moore
House was built around 1720 as a personal residence. It
was converted to an inn, or "Tea House" prior
to the Revolutionary War. According to legend, George Washington
never slept here, but he did stop for a cup of tea.
During
the Civil War era, the Thomas Moore House was used as part
of the "Underground Railroad" network to hide
slaves who escaped from the South.
