WASHINGTON-ROCHAMBEAU ROUTE
General Washington, in 1781, rode 60 miles in one day from Baltimore to Mount Vernon, which he had not visited for over 6 years. General Rochambeau arrived next day with his and Washington's staff. They spent Sept. 10 and Sept. 11 at Mount Vernon before going on to Fredericksburg.
The marking of this route is a gift from the French Government, Committee of the Bicentennial 1776-1976. |
