to Geo. Washington via Thos. Paine in London and John Rutledge of So. Carolina. The key is on display in the center hall of Mount Vernon, GW's home in Va. The storming of the Bastille was significant for its association with the Ancien Regime, but there was only a small number of prisoners there. The symbolism was the point. L and GW exchanged letters discussing the event, the revolution and aspects they disagreed with that are published online. (Mount Vernon sells a $10 reproduction of the key that's pretty cool).
