“THE WAR OF 1812: DOLLEY MADISON TELLS ALL,”
PERFORMED BY JANET PARNES
History performer Janet Parnes, will portray Dolley Madison in our initial program commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Dolley Madison was First Lady throughout the War of 1812. In her most famous act, she had to flee the White House to escape advancing British troops and in the process managed to save numerous invaluable artifacts of the American Revolution. As Mrs. Madison, Janet Parnes will relate her extraordinary journey from Quaker child to First Lady and share her behind-the-scenes perspective on the events of the war: the origin of our National Anthem, battles botched, heroic victories, and her own demure yet powerful influence. She will offer a distinctive picture of the catastrophes, conundrums, ironies, and ultimate successes that characterize the War of 1812.
Everyone is welcome. There is no charge for admission
