Liberia in Manassas, VA
Manassas is a historical town. During the civil war, there is a house that was used by both sides as a headquarters. This house is known as Liberia and it is located in Manassas. Prior to the Civil War this was one of the post successful plantations in the area. The plantation was owned by Harriett and William Weir. Weir’s sons fought for the Confederate Army during the war. The plantation produced vegetables and produced grains. The home was built in 1825 and the location was visited by Lincoln, Jefferson, and numerous other statesmen during the Civil War. Robert Weir sold it to Robert Portner in 1888. Portner never lived at the home but operated a dairy operation from Liberia. In 1947, the family sold the location to the Breeden family. It took 10 years for the City of Manassas to finally gain ownership of the property. The City of Manassas bought the home in 1986 and it is now a Museum. The building is very interesting and full of history.
