Can’t Get Enough Dolley?

If you can’t wait for the March 1 debut of Dolley Madison: America’s First Lady on PBS’ American Experience you’re not alone. Excitement has been building here at Montpelier since Middlemarch Films announced the documentary. Anticipation really started to build when Middlemarch came to Montpelier in mid-June to film a couple of scenes!
While we can’t fastforward to March 1, we would be thrilled to have some likeminded Dolley fans join us for a special preview on February 4 at 12 p.m. at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. Montpelier and the Virginia Historical Society will co-sponsor the event, which will feature a special appearance by the film’s producer and director, Muffie Meyer. The preview is part of the Virginia Historical Society’s Banner Lecture Series.
The Virginia Historical Society is located at 428 N. Boulevard, Richmond, Virginia. Reservations are not required. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $4 for children and students, and free for Virginia Historical Society members. We hope to see you there!
