Q: Whose birthplace did Post 148 in Virginia meet early in its history?
A: George Washington's. According to the Colonial Beach post's page on the Centennial Celebration website, the post was chartered in 1932 but didn't get a building of its own until 1950. Until then, members met in numerous hotels and/or restaurants in and around Colonial Beach. One of these was the Old Log House Tea Room at the George Washington Birthplace National Monument, a few miles outside of town.
