#fridayreads: Inauguration of George Washington

Before there was a bridge or a university, there was the man himself -- George Washington. The first president of the United States of America was inaugurated on April 30, 1789. If you have ever wondered if he chopped down a cherry tree or had wooden teeth, Jessup Library has resources that may hold the answers to your questions.
