Why do we Welcome Pierre? When Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant arrived in Georgetown to design the Federal City on March 9th, 1791 he was both unexpected and unheralded. His letter of introduction never arrived and no one was prepared for L'Enfant. To offset this disappointing introduction, local organizations and historic sites have organized “Welcome Pierre” for the last three decades.
