Doering will discuss a textile related to James and Dolley Madison's Montpelier, a bandana purported to have been worn by an enslaved worker. Held in the museum's Belle Vue Room. 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of Q & A, as your time allows. Reservations are not required -- but we'll be sure to have a seat for you if we know to expect you!
