President William Henry Harrison delivered history's longest inaugural address, a nearly two-hour, 8,445-word speech in the face of an icy wind, without hat or overcoat. Harrison died of pneumonia less than two months later.

No one timed Washington's first inaugural address, but knowing how much Washington disliked speaking of Politics and Government, it seems likely that his address was short . . . 5 or 10 minutes, probably.
