Duties Description Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site is the nation’s first publicly owned historic site. It was in the Hasbrouck family’s Dutch style farmhouse that General Washington, along with his wife, Martha, his aides, guards, servants and slaves, spent the most time they had at any military headquarters. Their stay would last 16 ½ months, beginning in April of 1782 and ending in August of 1783 as the Revolutionary War was drawing to a close. During that time the General created the forerunner to the Purple Heart, announced the cease-fire that ended the Revolutionary War, developed his response to the Newburgh Conspiracy and much more.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Under the supervision of higher level personnel, duties will include:
-Assisting with grounds, maintenance, janitorial and additional tasks as needed.
-Work may include snow removal, lawn and plantings care, restroom cleaning, vacuuming, and trash removal and assisting with custodial tasks.
-Additional tasks will include running errands, replacement of supplies, and setting up special event equipment.
-Will be expected to participate in site meetings and agency trainings as required.

Additional Comments The work schedules are anticipated to be approximately 20 hours per week. Work on weekend days and may occasionally entail schedule adjustment to assist with evening or other hours depending upon special events or special needs.
