White Plains has a lot to offer visitors. The city is more than just a shopping haven. The Armory is the site of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in the state. Jacob Purdy House, a circa-1720 farmhouse that served as the home of General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, is another place to visit. Whether you're looking for a day out with the kids or some peace and quiet, there's plenty to do in the White Plains area.
