Martha Washington:  From Belle of Virginia to Lady Washington

Martha Washington: From Belle of Virginia to Lady Washington In-Person / Online

Martha and George Washington were married in 1759 and they were among the most prominent families in the colonies.  George Washington would leave home in 1775 to attend the Second Continental Congress.; he wouldn't return to Mount Vernon for over six years.    Listen to Martha’s feelings and thoughts about the war from the moment she learns her husband will not be returning from the Second Continental Congress to her first encampment visit which transformed her from Patsy to Lady Washington.  Martha spent every winter at camp beside her General. Learn about her experiences and how the trials of Valley Forge forever changed the military, and Martha.
