"Walls Do, Indeed, Talk" |
St. Catherine's Middle School Auditorium |
First Lady Maureen McDonald
Mary Miley Theobald
First House: Two Centuries with Virginia's First Families is a compelling chronicle of Virginia's 200-year-old executive mansion. Created to coincide with the mansion's bicentennial in 2013, First House brings to life the private stories of the governors and their families who shaped the destiny of this unique home. Lavishly illustrated with images old and new, most shared here for the first time, the book traces triumph and tragedy through the turbulence of wars, fires, economic depressions, and renovations in a story that mirrors Virginia's progress from the nineteenth century into the twenty-first. This stately home on Capitol Square, completed in 1813 and occupied by more than fifty "first families," has truly earned its place in history as Virginia's "First House."
After the talk, the author and First Lady will be available to sign books (available for purchase at event).
New Format!
Lecture begins at 6 p.m. Enjoy wine, cheese, and conversation with our speakers from 7 to 8 p.m. immediately following the presentation.
