Enjoy a stroll through the social/political swirl of post-Revolution America! Your hostess will be Dolley Madison, the Quaker child who transformed into one of America’s most fashionable, gracious, and powerful First Ladies. Discover how this patriot used her charm, wit and resourcefulness to unite our country and influence it socially and politically.

Although Dolley would cringe at the label, she was an early feminist. The centerpiece of Washington’s high society, she stepped softly outside of its social norms to establish new standards of decorum, introduce women into the politics of the day, and earn the respect of the military and civilian populations. Come learn the extraordinary story behind the life of one of America’s lesser known yet influential First Ladies. The elegant Mrs. Madison was, by the way, a snuff aficionado!
