WASHINGTON IN CARLISLE
President George Washington left Philadelphia,
then the capital of the United States, for Carlisle on
September 30, 1794. On Saturday, October 4, he
forded the Susquehanna River in a coach driven by
himself and on reaching the Cumberland County side,
found a detachment of the Philadelphia Light Horse,
which was his escort to Carlisle. The presidential party
proceeded toward Carlisle via New Kingstown on the
road now known as the Harrisburg Pike. Two miles
before reaching Carlisle, Washington met the governors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the troops
raised in their states, and they escorted him into town.
The inhabitants of the town lined the streets, and
at the court house banners were displayed which read,
“Washington is ever Triumphant,” “The Reign of the
Laws,” and “Woe to Anarchists.” Washington visited
the army’s camp, reviewed the troops, and then proceeded to his headquarters in town. The president
lodged and had his headquarters in two houses obtained for him by General Ephraim Blaine, a personal
friend. These houses stood on the southeast corner of
Liberty Avenue and South Hanover Street (now 1-3,
5-7 South Hanover Street). President Washington gave
a dinner that Saturday night at John Montgomery’s
residence, which was located at present-day 1 West
High Street.
On Sunday morning, October 5, 1794, Washington attended the service at First Presbyterian Church on
the invitation of Ephraim Blaine and General John
Armstrong, both prominent members of the church. Dr.
Robert Davidson preached “A Sermon on the Freedom
and Happiness of the United States of America.”
Washington noted the occasion in his diary, writing
that he “Went to the Presbyterian meeting and heard
Dr. Davidson preach a political sermon, recommendations of order and good government and the excellence
of that of the United States.” At noon of that day,
Washington was introduced to the officers of the various state militia units and reviewed their troops. He
remained in Carlisle until the following Sunday morning, occupied with meetings and planning for the imminent move to Western Pennsylvania to quell the
Whiskey Rebellion.
In his diary, the president noted that from the 6th
of October until the 12th, he was “Employed in
Organizing the several detachments, which had come
in from different Counties of this State, in a very disjointed and loose manner; or rather I ought to have said
in urging and assisting Genl. Mifflin to do it; as I no
otherwise took the command of the Troops than to
press them forward, and to provide them with necessaries for their March, as well, and as far, as our means
would admit…” On October 12, at 7:00 in the morning, he left Carlisle via the Walnut Bottom Road on his
way to Shippensburg and then continued as far as Bedford. The Whiskey Rebellion proved to be the first, and
only, time in American history during which the constitutional Commander-in-Chief accompanied the Army
in the field as it prepared to move against the enemy.
