Traveller's Rest, Plantation in Kearneysville, United States.

The stone building consists of two sections measuring thirty feet deep, with the eastern part spanning thirty-four feet and western part sixteen feet wide.

General Horatio Gates, who commanded Continental Army forces during the American Revolution, established this residence in 1773 and resided there until 1790.

The interior features period woodwork created by John Ariss, demonstrating the architectural preferences of colonial American military leadership in the 18th century.

The property spans over 200 acres along Bowers Road, with the main house positioned on the northern side behind a substantial setback.

The seven-bay limestone structure retains its original 18th-century configuration, including a full basement beneath both the eastern and western sections.
