2 George Washington

By George! When Philadelphia was the capital of the United States, George Washington served as the first president. George Washington lived and worked at a house on 5th and Chestnut Streets—he started the tradition of the President working from home (I wonder if he worked in his pajamas). Here, President Washington met with and entertained foreign leaders and local Philadelphians alike. Conversation Topics: What’s the first thing you would do as President? What city would you pick to be the capital of the United States?
