Appearances
The Protectron Button Gwinnett guards the Declaration of Independence in the National Archives in Fallout 3. Button Gwinnett is also mentioned in Fallout 4, as the namesake for a popular brewery in Boston (bottles of Gwinnett ale, pilsners and stouts are commonly found all over the Commonwealth). This is likely a homage to Samuel Adams and the Boston-based brewery whose beers bear his name.
