It is 1964 and former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy is besieged by sightseers around her house in Georgetown. As she deliberates what to do next, she shares the story of her life in the White House, including her struggle to retain her family’s privacy in the face of media onslaughts, her restoration work, and her attempts to showcase the arts. In a climactic revelation, she recounts her husband’s death and comes to a heartfelt decision about how to begin a new life for herself and her children.
The Bartlett History Museum and the Bartlett Public Library District invite everyone to learn more about this fascinating first lady, as portrayed by Leslie Goddard, at the 18th annual First Ladies Tea on Tuesday, 9/29 at Bartlett History Museum. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. for refreshments, and the program begins at 7 p.m.
Registration is required for this very popular free event. Please call the museum at 630-837-0800 with the number of attendees and your phone number to make your reservation.
