Liberia House

Liberia served as Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard’s headquarters in 1861, when Confederate President Jefferson Davis visited. In 1862, General Irvin McDowell set up his headquarters in the house, when President Lincoln visited. The house was later occupied by General Daniel Sickles and Union troops who were guarding the railroad at Manassas Junction. Graffiti dating from 1862- 1864 is on display, and soldiers who wrote their names and drew on Liberia’s walls are still being identified.
