1890
Caroline Scott Harrison (1832–1892) was the First Lady of the United States from 1889 to 1892, wife of President Benjamin Harrison. An accomplished artist and advocate for women's causes, she was the first President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution and led significant White House renovations, including the installation of electricity.
She visited Mount Vernon in 1890, reported by Harrison Howell Dodge, Mount Vernon's long-time superintendent, in his 1932 book Mount Vernon, its owner and its story.
“President and Mrs. Harrison accepted the invitation of the Regents and Vice-regents of Mount Vernon to attend the Council of the Mount Vernon Association in 1890, and appeared to enjoy greatly the entertainment tendered them.”
