Lunch at the Library: Reimagining George Washington's Landscapes in the Nineteenth Century
Join Mount Vernon experts Dr. Holly Gruntner (Landscape Historian), Rebecca Baird (Archivist), and Amanda Isaac (Chief Curator of Fine and Decorative Arts) as they share how a tree cultivated by George Washington in the 1780s sparked both the idea for a fundraising project to help save the property in the 1860s and the creation of a unique object in Mount Vernon’s collections.
This event is part of the Washington Library's Lunch at the Library series. Lunch will be provided.
Brown Bag Lunch: Engaging with the French Revolution in the United States
Bring your lunch and learn about Library Fellow Emilie Mitran's research project, Engaging with the French Revolution in the United States: A Reflection on Politics, Diplomacy, and Regional Cultures (1780s–1989).
Using the resources at the George Washington Presidential Library, Mitran is researching how Americans perceived the French Revolution in the late 1780s, as they observed the growing popular discontent in France and its impact on the Early Republic.
