Continental Congress in York Metal Ornament
During the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress, seeking refuge from the British occupation of Philadelphia in 1777, convened in York, Pennsylvania. The decision to move the capital was prompted by the impending British invasion of Philadelphia, the previous seat of the Congress. The delegates relocated to the more secure interior of Pennsylvania and met at the York County Courthouse, which served as the meeting place for the Second Continental Congress from September 30, 1777, to June 27, 1778. This period in York is historically significant, as it marked a pivotal time for the young nation as it sought independence from British rule.
While in York, the Continental Congress faced many challenges, including financial difficulties, supply shortages, and the need to coordinate the war effort. It was during this time that the Articles of Confederation were drafted, a precursor to the U.S. Constitution. The Congress also addressed critical issues such as military strategy, foreign relations, and diplomacy. Despite the hardships, the delegates persevered and laid the foundation for the future United States government. Today, the York County Courthouse is preserved as a historical site, allowing visitors to step back in time and explore this significant chapter in American history.

What a cute ornament with all the best bosses from Mega Man 1-4! The coating (to keep from scratching) almost feels like podge glue. Awesome! Very awesome - see my photo for size.
