History with ‘Hud’: Remembering when George Washington visited Wilmington wwaytv3.com/history-with-h…

On April 30, 1789, George Washington delivered the first inaugural speech at Federal Hall in NYC. Observers noted that Washington spoke softly, almost inaudibly. Washington stressed the importance of a strong Constitution and the importance of public good.

This is a fine building, @PackTimPeeler!

George Washington was sworn in as the nation's first president #OTD 1789, on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York. 🇺🇸 These #CoxCorridor murals at the U.S. Capitol show the scene and the building. #America250

I much enjoyed the audience last weekend in Bethel, N.C. when the Blount Library hosted me for a talk on Washington's #SouthernTour. I'm here with Blount Library chief Erin Reece and Bethel mayor Carl Wilson. Thanks for the hospitality!

On Jan. 1, 1812, John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson for the first time in 11 years, quietly rekindling a broken friendship. In the Karsh Institute's latest “Defining Moments in American Democracy” episode, Jane Kamensky of @TJMonticello explains why their reconciliation is relevant now more than ever. #va250 #america250

OTD in 1791, continuing his #SouthernTour along the South Carolina seaboard, President Washington crossed the Waccamaw River to Georgetown. GW dined with community leaders at a luncheon, then that afternoon took tea with over 50 ladies. GW enjoyed learning about the agri-business of rice.

I'll be in Savannah at a banquet speaking on George Washington to the Georgia Sons of the Revolution.🇺🇲 🎆🎇

President Washington traveled 33 miles otd in 1791, rolling down a long stretch of Long Bay (Myrtle Beach), then taking a break with a Mr. Pawley, before spending the night w/ Dr. Henry C. Flagg at Brookgreen Plantation, today's @brookgreensc. #SouthernTour

@IsaacAColes President Washington hopes to see you in June. 😉😀

I enjoyed sharing some thoughts on President Washington's stops in North Carolina's Triad: Inside George Washington’s historic stay in the Triad on his tour of the 13 states. Thanks @myfox8! #SouthernTour myfox8.com/miniseries/pie…

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why. In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.” It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac. American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland. The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard. A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital. You can see why it doesn’t come up much.

Grant is an American hero and an underrated president. His tomb is a fitting one.

Arriving Blowing Rock, N.C. Going to be chilly all week.
