NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A rededication ceremony was held at the statue of the nation’s first president Monday, on what used to be a holiday marking the evacuation of the last British troops in the U.S. following the Revolutionary War.
As WCBS 880′s Alex Silverman reported, for more than a century, Evacuation Day was celebrated each Nov. 25, marking the day British troops left New York City through the Battery in 1783. It was one of the city’s biggest holidays.
