Over its 200 years, Liberia House has been many things to many people—a plantation made prosperous through enslaved labor, a Civil War military headquarters, a dairy farm, a family home, and now a public park. During the Civil War, the house served as headquarters for Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard and later for Union General Irvin McDowell. Even President Abraham Lincoln visited to confer with his general. Though the war altered the plantation forever, the house endured—one of the few significant structures in the area to survive the conflict.
Today, Liberia House is a City park and an important historic resource. Set amid preserved green space and managed by the Manassas Museum, the site offers a place for reflection, community gatherings, educational programs, and special events while honoring the many stories that shaped it.
With your support, we can preserve historic Liberia House and ensure this landmark continues to share its full history with future generations.
