Submitted by on

The theme for the Saturday, May 2 session of the Treaty of Paris Center is "Thomas Jefferson," who was a delegate in Congress at Annapolis from November 1783 to May 1784, when he was appointed as a minister to France by Congress. During that time, he helped plan the festivities for a retiring George Washington and coordinated the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. At the Treaty of Paris Center, you'll see documents signed by the 14 presidents before George Washington, including Thomas Mifflin, who presided over the Congress that sent Jefferson to France.
