White House Tales, Pt.2

George Washington thought the President’s home should resemble the grand palaces of Europe. The British almost burned it down. The U. S. Army wanted to paint it black. Harry Truman had the interior completely gutted and replaced. This is a two-part presentation (comprised of equal parts fact and humor) on the history of the White House and what life has been like for the temporary residents in this most famous of homes.

This is a public program.
