Summerseat, Colonial mansion in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
Summerseat features a symmetrical two-and-a-half-story masonry structure with five bays, a central entrance, and a pedimented gable on its east facade.
General George Washington established his headquarters at Summerseat in December 1776, where he planned the strategic attack on Hessian forces in Trenton.
The mansion bears the distinction of being the residence of two signers of both the Declaration of Independence and Constitution: Robert Morris and George Clymer.
The Morrisville Historical Society opens Summerseat for public tours on the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 7 dollars per adult.
A military court in Summerseat's dining room convicted two British spies in 1781, demonstrating its role in Revolutionary War intelligence operations.
