They were portrayed by Kyle Jenks and Judith Kales who perform first person interpretations of several historic figures.
We learned specifically about the events surrounding the British burning of the White House in August 1814. James had gone off to be with the US troops, and Dolley stayed behind to safeguard the documents and treasures of their home.

It was a very interesting evening with our fourth President and First Lady.
