Reenacting George Washington's first political office win
Saturday 5pm to 7pm 27 July 2024 we reenacted Colonel George Washington's first win of 24 July 1758. And won another in 18 May 1761. He lost his first election 10 Dec 1755. All these elections were held on this very site where it first happened. This has been our 6th annual reenactment of this, skipping it in 2020 due to Covid.
At the end of the vote we always mimic a famous picture from
The Illustrated Life of Washington by J. T. Headley first published on Page 360 of Graham’s Magazine Vol XLIV No. 4 April 1854.
See source:
Washington represented Frederick County in the House of Burgessess until 1765 when he ran to represent Fairfax County.
