On this ground, the Army of the Revolution erected "The Temple," a new public building, in 1782–83, a place identified as the birthplace of the Republic. Under the direction and plans of Washington and his Masonic companions, the Temple was constructed, and Masonic communications were held there in 1783. On this site, at the last cantonment of the American Army, the Society of the Cincinnati was born on May 10th 1783, and it still lives to perpetuate the memories of the Revolution.
