Founding Fathers' dinner (11/18) Three very talented reenactors bring the events of June 20, 1790 to life. Jefferson hosted one of the most momentous dinner parties in U.S. history, one that would shape, and perhaps even save, the American republic. The dinner for Madison and Hamilton resulted in the Grand Compromise creating Washington, DC as our capital and allowing the federal government to assume state debt and become the chief taxing authority. This effectively strengthened the federal government and the rest is history. A reenactment dinner will be held Nov. 20 at the White Stone Events Center. The event, sponsored by Christ Church in Irvington, is sold out.
