In June 1783 a number of soldiers of the Pennsylvania Line, exasperated by delays in settling their claims,
set out for Philadelphia to lay the matter before their elected leaders. Panic-stricken, the members of Congress moved to Princeton, New Jersey.
The Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation met from June 30, 1783 to November 4, 1783 at Prospect House and Nassau Hall
(in the library on the second floor), both on the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey.
Above: The Prospect House which replaced the colonial-era home of Colonel George Morgan, where the Continental Congress met for a time. The above
structure serves as a private dining club for Princeton University staff and faculty.
