Princeton, The Nation's Capital: 1783, Historical Society of Princeton

Rescheduled from 9/7

The American Revolution shooting war had ended in 1781 and the Colonies are awaiting word that peace negotiations in Paris will result in a treaty. Because of delays in negotiating across the Atlantic, Congress is in a dilemma. It has no money to pay the troops, but it cannot disband the army until there is a peace treaty. In June 1783, Congress, in session in Philadelphia, must flee after an Army mutiny (demanding back pay). Congress relocates to Princeton where it remains in session for 4 ½ months.

On the 240th anniversary of this pivotal time in American history, join educator (and long-time HSP walking tour guide) Barry Singer for an illustrated talk describing the developments and the people involved, as this small rural town provides the backdrop for the historic events of that summer and fall.
