York County Colonial Court House
Government Building
Reconstructed colonial court house on the site where the Continental Congress met from September 1777 to June 1778 after fleeing Philadelphia. It was here that Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777 — America's first constitution — and received official news of the French alliance in May 1778. The building served as the seat of the Continental government during one of the war's most consequential administrative periods.
