Colonial Complex (Gates House, Plough Tavern, Bobb Log House,
& The Colonial Court House)

Political intrigue, tavern life and a family home - all available in a single visit to this site on the corner of West Market Street and North Pershing Avenue in downtown York.   These three buildings reflect both private and public lives in early York.   The Plough Tavern, built in 1741, presents the significant role a tavern played in a community as hotel, restaurant and source for news.   The Gates House (c.1751) reflects the year 1778 when General Gates occupied the house while the Continental Congress met in York.   You can visit a reconstruction of the courthouse just across the street from the Plough Tavern.   The Bobb House, built with squared timbers, shows family life in the 1830s.   Intrigued by this variety?   Then come visit this site.
