Red Hill Tavern

Red Hill Tavern was the home of Martin Pheifer, Jr., a good friend of George Washington who had served with him at Valley Forge. During his Southern Tour, President Washington visited Red Hill as Pheifer’s private guest, dining and spending the night with the family there on May 29, 1791. In his journal, Washington remarked that Pheifer was a good host and provided well for his guests. Red Hill stood on the Old Wagon Road near the Irish Buffalo Creek in what is now western Concord, and the tavern was destroyed by fire in the twentieth century.
