Seersucker Garden Soiree: Dance under the stars to 20s Jazz and the merriment of a Presidential Garden Soiree

Step back in time for an exclusive evening at the Presidential home of Woodrow Wilson to experience the elegance of the roaring 20s with an evening of music, dancing under the stars to a live band, and the excitement of a Presidential vintage garden soiree. Join us on your own or with friends to the rare opportunity to  experience the ambiance of a vintage Presidential garden soiree.

While entertaining in the fully restored rooms of this Georgian revival townhouse, you will have the opportunity to view elaborate gifts of state from around the world, important materials from Wilson’s presidency, objects from the White House, family items and personal objects.

President Wilson was the first US President to travel in Europe, and received numerous state gifts which (unlike the leaders of today) he was able to keep.  On display are gifts from the allied heads of state including a Gobelin Tapestry from the people of France, a mosaic from Pope Benedict XV and autographed portraits of the British Monarchs.  As you enjoy your evening, museum staff will be on hand in each major room to highlight artifacts from around the world.
