"One thought, one sentiment, a single impulse, appeared to move our population on Saturday. It was to render heartwarming homage to the Father of his Country." These words appeared in the Missouri Democrat on February 23, 1862 after a Washington's Birthday celebration in St. Louis the previous day. Throughout the history of the Untied States, men and woman have gathered to honor the man called the Father of Our Country. Even during Washington's own lifetime, celebrations of his birthday were quite common, although Washington himself did not approve of them, probably due to his own modesty. The Comte de Rochambeau wrote Washington on February 10, 1782, of his intention to give a ball the following day to celebrate the President's birthday.

Most Americans assume the mass migration of the Irish peoples to our shores was a direct result of the infamous Potato Famine which began in 1845. This is, however, a misconception.

 On 25 January 1804, James Peter Allaire wed his second cousin Frances Duncan, the same year he opened a small brass foundry at 466 Cherry Street in Manhattan. The following year, James and Frances would have their first child, Charles Browne Allaire, born on 20 January 1805. James and Frances would have nine children all together.
The Allaires would share many happy times together as well as sad ones. James' business dealings would keep them separated for long periods, four of their nine children would pass away while still infants, but James' business interests would grow, along with his reputation as a master at his trade, and the Allaires would prosper. Through all the joys and sadness they would remain truly devoted to each other.
Visitors may notice unusual customs taking place in our village this fateful day...more |
