The library’s 11th annual Presidents Day Festival that runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday includes actors portraying Presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, and first ladies Abigail Adams and Dolley Madison, sharing stories and engaging viewers in live and prerecorded virtual programs.
Also, the event will feature a look at the White House rooms, highlighting it as a home for past presidents and their families, in honor of the 60th anniversary of Jacqueline Kennedy’s televised tour of the White House to share the “People’s House” with the public.
