Dolley Days

August 22, 2020 @ 10:00 am - August 23, 2020 @ 4:30 pm UTC+0

Free

Join us as we celebrate the anniversary of Dolley Madison’s flight from the White House to Dumbarton House in 1814. During the War of 1812, the British burned the White House and Capitol buildings. After directing enslaved individuals to save precious documents and paintings from the White House, Dolley fled the fire and the British. She stopped with good friend Charles Carroll in Georgetown (at Dumbarton House!) before continuing to safety in Virginia.

This year, we will have both virtual and in-person offerings. Go on a live virtual First Ladies walking tour with DC company, A Tour of Her Own, watch a recorded specialty tour of Dumbarton House, follow along with an at home ice cream tutorial or reserve free timed tickets to tour the house in person!
