I believe Washington was sworn in on Wall Street, NC. At least the capitol was in that city and a statue of GW stands there.
But this part of the link is sad:

"During last year's reading by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) of New Hampshire, hardly anyone showed up to listen. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D) of Connecticut listened from the dais, acting as Senate president pro tempore, while about 20 pages fidgeted in their chairs."

Most young, publicly educated people here probably know nothing about Washington except he was a shameful part of our white, male paternal era, Squinch.
Washington was a giant in history, and foreigners appreciate that more than Americans. Ho Chi Minh studied Washington and used his exact strategy to defeat us: let the superpower have the cities and ports, keep control of all other areas. It makes trade impossible, subsidies of the government inevitable and creates a long term impossible situation for the enemy.

Quakers certainly sympathized with the revolution, Zat, but I doubt many actually fought. Paine was raised Quaker but his views on violent revolution changed, of course.
If you know of examples of practicing Quakers fighting, let me know. I'd be interested in that.
I know they suffered badly over the perception of being sympathetic with the south in the Civil War because they would not shoot. The reality is Quakers gave much comfort and support to both our revolutionary army and the Union troops and did not as much for Lee's army or the Brits.
The prejudice against them survives to this day in Pennsylvania because of that perception and revived because of their opposition to Viet Nam and future conflicts.

Look who's talking!
