Review & FAQ:
The Moore House is the site where the terms for surrender were negotiated from the British army on October 17th of 1781. After close-range bombardment by American and French artillery that lasted eight days, General Cornwallis of the British army requested a ceasefire to negotiate his surrender. The negotiations were held the following day at the residence of Augustine Moore. Two representatives were sent to the home and an agreement was settled on late that night. The house today has been altered and renovated, but is open to the public between the months of April and October.
