The Hale-Byrnes House, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, was a two-story home which was built in 1750. It was originally the home of Samuel Hale before it was sold to Daniel Byrnes. The house became a historic symbol when General George Washington held a council at the house during the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge during the Revolutionary War. Today, visitors are invited to explore the stunning brick house, it’s architecture, and the gorgeous period furniture and decor which can be found inside. It is only open seasonally during certain days of the week, unless there’s a private event, so be sure to check their schedule online before heading over there.
