Washington Inauguration stamp 1939
The stamp was issued in 1939. It commemorated “the 150th anniversary of George Washington’s inauguration as the first President of the United States.”
“Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the balcony of the Senate Chamber at Federal Hall on Wall Street. Robert Livingston, the Chancellor of New York, administered the oath of office. New York City would serve as the nation’s capital for a year, before moving to Philadelphia.”

It was interesting to read over at Wikipedia that “George Washington’s second address was the shortest (135 words), and William Henry Harrison delivered the longest (8,495 words).” Join me tomorrow for my Saturday blog post here at AnchoredScraps.com.
