About: This house was constructed in 1772 with wood from the old fort in Fort Edward and served as a private home, tavern, boarding house, court, and military headquarters for both the Patriots and Loyalists during Revolutionary War. Solomon Northup, author of 12 Years a Slave, who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, resided here with his wife and first born child for three years, beginning in 1829.
