HUZZAH FOR HISTORY...CELEBRATE 250!!!

On December 4, 1783, General George Washington summons his military officers to Fraunces Tavern in New York City to inform them that he will be resigning his commission and returning to civilian life.

Washington had led the army through six long years of war against the British before the American forces finally prevailed at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. There, Washington received the formal surrender of British General Lord Charles Cornwallis, effectively ending the Revolutionary War, although it took almost two more years to conclude a peace treaty and slightly longer for all British troops to leave New York.

Washington returned to his beloved estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia, where he planned to live out his days as a gentleman farmer. He was not out of the spotlight for long, however. In 1789, he was coaxed out of retirement and elected as the first president of the United States, a position he held until 1797.
