John Paul Jones House
John Paul Jones House Review
The yellow, hip-roof home was a boardinghouse when the Revolutionary War hero lived here while supervising shipbuilding for the Continental Navy. The 1758 structure displays furniture, costumes, glass, guns, portraits, and documents from the late 18th century. The collection specializes in textiles, particularly some extraordinary embroidery samplers from the early 19th century.
