Lease of the French Arms Tavern

 

The Legislature appointed three Trenton men ~ Moore Furman, James Ewing and Conrad Kotts ~ to make arrangements for Congress' sessions. The lease of the French Arms Tavern for 150 pounds a year was found and publicized in 1906 by local historian Dr. Carlos E. Godfrey.
