Martha and George Washington: A Love Story 
Tuesday, June 30th 7:00 PM
In 2026, America is celebrating her semi quincentennial- 250 years! In this event, historical reenactors from The Ladies of History will show us a different side of our most famous Founding Father. Today, we often see America’s first “First Couple” as older people in stodgy portraits.  However, at the start of the American Revolution, they were in their 40s, a vibrant couple in middle age.  They lived and loved and had their joys as well as their trials.   George and Martha had a strong and loving relationship; their marriage lasted over 40 years.  During the war, Martha joined him every winter in camp so that they could be together, and so that she could provide the support and warmth he needed to maintain his morale.  Observers of the couple noted that she “was mad about him”, they were “excessively fond of one another” and that their relationship was “one of tenderness and respect”.   This presentation seeks to educate people about this important couple as well as the people who surrounded them and helped them achieve all that they did.  Hear from them about how they met, about their marriage, their families, their responsibilities and, of course, about their love.  It is educational, emotional and romantic.  Join us as we celebrate America 250!
