Lunchtime Lecture: The Papers of Dolly Madison
Marietta House Museum
Presented by scholar Holly Schulman who is the director of the Dolly Madison Project at the University of Virginia Archives. James and Dolly Madison spent time at Marietta House. The Madisons and Duvalls dined, played cards, and talked about politics at Marietta House in the first-quarter of the 19th century. Paul Jennings, the President’s enslaved valet, likely came to Marietta House.
