The rear wood section of the Council House was demolished after 1988. The brick main house is now more commonly called the Clowser House, after the Clowser family, the homestead of early western Virginia settlers Henry Klauser/Clowser. Marion is a direct descendant. The Clowsers, along with other families settled this area in the mid 1750's. Today the Clowser Foundation supports the preservation of the house and Clowser Cemetery.

Our Story

The Clowser House is a historic eighteenth century Federal style home built in the Clowser Gap, located in western Frederick County, Virginia. Surrounding the home are the Clowser Cemetery, the remains of the original Clowser homestead, a stone enclosed spring and the water driven mill. The home and surrounding area are rich in local history. Archaeological research has shown evidence of a 10,000 year old Paleolithic camp located at the spring. The 1764 raid by the Delaware Indians claimed the lives of many settlers including four Clowser family members. Artifacts from the American Civil War were found showing both Confederate and Union troops had a presence at the Clowser House. Through the years the home has suffered structural damage and is now in need of repairs. The newly formed Clowser Foundation has signed a 99 year lease with Frederick County and made the repairs necessary to keep it from being demolished. The Clowser Foundation is accepting donations as well as selling prints of the home to help fund this project. Donations may be made by mailing checks to 152 Tomahawk Trail, Wi******er, VA 22602 To request information on the prints, as well as further questions, please contact [email protected]
