Concord in Cabarrus County, North Carolina — The American South (South Atlantic)
Red Hill Tavern
Red Hill Tavern was home to Martin Pheifer, Jr. Mr. Pheifer was a good friend of George Washington, having served with him at Valley Forge. For that reason President Washington was a private guest of Pheifer during his Southern Tour, dining and spending the night with the family at Red Hill on May 29, 1791. Washington remarked in his journal that Pheifer was a good host and that he provided well for his guests. Red Hill was on the Old Wagon Road near the Irish Buffalo Creek in what is now western Concord. The tavern was destroyed by fire in the twentieth century. (Marker Number 1.)Topics and series.
