Souder NM. 1965. Historic Structures Report, Part II: Mount Washington Tavern. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
The battle at Fort Necessity in the summer of 1754 was the opening action of the French and Indian War. This war was a clash of British, French and American Indian cultures. It ended with the removal of French power from North America, setting the stage for the American Revolution. This historic structure report concerns Mount Washington Tavern, built circa 1827-28, which stands upon land once owned by George Washington. Approximately 1,000 feet to the southwest of the tavern is Fort Necessity, site of the frontier palisade erected under Washington's command in 1754 during an opening battle of the French and Indian War. The tavern is planned to be used as a house museum.
