The Dey Mansion, located in Wayne, played an integral role in the American Revolutionary War. Built by Colonoel Theunis Dey in 1770's it served as Washington's Headquarters on several occassions. During his stay Washington and his advisers stayed in the mansion; he also had numerous visitors including Benedict Arnold. It is here where Washington learned that the French allied support had landed in Newport, Rhode Island, and during his stay at the Dey Mansion General Benedict Arnold's treason became evident.
