Our historic house has been the setting for many weddings, showers, and family gatherings over the years. At one point in the history of our old house, it became an inn named in honor of the role the French General played in the American Revolution. Although the good general never stayed at the house, the building kept the name until the 1930 s, even serving as a tenement for workers from the adjacent icehouses. In July 1930 the Colonel James Hartshorne House Association was formed, and has maintained the house ever since. Copyright 2000 Hartshorne House Association.
