President’s House In The News
President's House Overview:
From 1790 to 1800, when the city of Philadelphia was our new nation’s
capital, Presidents George Washington and John Adams lived and worked in a
mansion – the President’s House – that stood roughly one block north of
Independence Hall. In that house, the first two American presidents
literally invented what it meant to be Chief Executive of the United
States.
President's House Fact Sheet:
President’s House commemorative site is an open-air installation designed
to give visitors a sense of the house where the first two presidents of
the United States, George Washington and John Adams served their terms of
office. The commemorative site pays homage to nine documented enslaved
persons of African descent who were part of the Washington household and
addresses the topic of slavery in the early history of the United
States.
