Geocache Description:

11 BGW – Hastings House:

This well-preserved Greek Revival house (ca. 1839) served as headquarters for Confederate Generals Joseph E. Johnston, Wade Hampton, and Braxton Bragg in March-April 1865 prior to and following the Battle of Bentonville. Major William Hastings acquired the property in 1854, and the Hastings family lived here during the Civil War era. It was moved to its current location in 1965 by the Hastings House Association to prevent its demolition.
