Rush Bagot Treaty Bicentennial. Come celebrate the world's longest undefended border! April 28 marks the 200th Anniversary of the Rush Bagot Treaty, an agreement between the United States and Great Britain limiting naval armaments on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Its origins can be traced to an exchange of letters between Acting United States Secretary of State Richard Rush and the British Minister to Washington, Sir Charles Bagot, which were exchanged and signed April 28 and 29, 1817. After the terms were agreed upon by Rush and Bagot, the agreement was unofficially recognized by both countries.
