The Birthplace

Helicopter

From March 22, 2013 to April 05, 2013 the Nixon Presidential Library and the Nixon Foundation will be hosting an exhibit featuring George Washington’s copy of the Acts of Congress.  Six hundred copies of the Acts of Congress were produced for Federal and state officials.  The volume includes the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and copies of the legislation passed by Congress in its first session in 1789.  The copy we will be displaying includes marginalia by Washington in the sections related to the President’s powers and responsibilities.  The book is being loaned to us by Mount Vernon, which recently acquired it at auction for $9.8 million.  You can read more about the Acts of Congress at http://www.mountvernon.org/actsofcongress/
