Today in History - December 26

On this day in 1799, over four thousand people attended the funeral of George Washington.

On this day in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill that established the fourth Thursday in November as the official day for Thanksgiving in the United States.

On this day in 1991, Soviet Union was officially dissolved.

And, in Chuckery, Ohio in 1894, Phillip Vollrath is gathering logs with the intention of building a new barn in the spring.
