While in Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention, George Washington traveled to the farm home of Jane Moore, arriving on July 30, 1787 and remaining two days with Gouverneur Morris, a Pennsylvania delegate to the convention. On July 31, while Morris fished for trout, Washington rode over the grounds, talked with local farmers, and revisited the site of the 1777/1778 Valley Forge encampment, which overlapped with the Moore property.
