The Golden Plough Tavern, built in 1741 on the same site as the General Horatio Gates
House and Barnett Bobb Log House, is a historic building in downtown York, Pennsylvania
and is the oldest surviving building there. Over the years it has served as a hotel,
restaurant and source for news and has housed Congressional delegates. The Conway Cabal,
a political intrigue against General George Washington, had its origins in the
Golden Plough Tavern.

The Conway Cabal refers to a conspiracy in late 1777 and 1778 designed to remove
George Washington as commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
It was named after Brigadier General Thomas Conway, whose letters criticizing Washington
were forwarded to the Congress. The plot failed when it became public, as Conway
resigned and General Horatio Gates apologized to Washington.
