September 17th is Constitution Day.

Constitution Week is observed September 17-23 to promote civic education about our Constitution. The Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside this week, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the resolution into law on August 2, 1956.

This foundational legal document consists of a preamble, seven articles, and 27 amendments that establish the structure, powers, and limits of the federal government.

Today we helped celebrate the 250th anniversary of the first reading of the Declaration of Independence. On July 9, 1776 after hearing the declaration read, a group assembled in Bowling Green, toppling the statue of King George III as well as breaking finials off the top of the iron fence posts. Much of the statue was melted down by the Wolcott family in Litchfield, Connecticut, turning the King and horse into approximately 42,000 musket balls.

In his will, Tallmadge left the Society his valuable library and many Revolutionary War relics as well as his home at No.23 Gramercy Park. His sister and residuary legatee allowed the property to be sold in order to pay the debt incurred in the purchase of Fraunces Tavern. In return, she asked that Fraunces Tavern be made a memorial to her brother. Albert Weinert, a well-known sculptor, was hired to design a plaque which now resides on the exterior of the building.

Frederick Samuel Tallmadge’s ancestors included great grandfather William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and grandfather Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, best known for his leadership of the Culper Spy Ring.
