Wikipedia's 1790 Page is a great list of major events; see this page to look at a calendar for the year; BrainyHistory also has a 1790 Page as does Jack Lynch
See some 1790 paintings by Sir Thomas Lawrence Elisabeth Farren (1790); Portrait of William Lock (1790); Portrait of Mrs. Linley (circa 1790)
Some sites of interest are (1) Chronology on the History of Slavery and Racism 1790-1829; (2) The English Peerage of 1790 (3) Passengers emigrating to Canada on "British Queen"
Search for ancestors in the 1790 U.S. Federal Census or examine Census Data for the Year 1790. Other sites focus on the 1790 census in local areas, such as Bristol County, Massachusetts, Surry County, North Carolina, Stokes County, NC, Rutland, Vermont.
Read texts of 1790, such as 17 July 1790, Columbian Centinel; US Treaty with the Creek Indians, 1790; Martha Ballard's Diary

When I taught this novel in my Women Writers
course at Cal State SB, I listed as key events to motivate my students' reading:
"The Narrative Frame; The Mystery of the Southern Part of the Castle; A Stepmother's
Jealousy; Love; A Forced Marriage; An Escape Attempt; A Wound; Imprisonment;
A Pursuit; Banditti; Female Friendship; The Abbey; A Nun's Tale; Abate vs. Marquis;
A Rescue; Another Rescue; The Marquis' Secret; Murders." The novel, as the chapter
titles hint, is full of action and intrigue.
