Fox News
In Fox Nation’s “Women of the White House,” Rachel Campos Duffy travels to Montpellier, the Virginia home of the Madisons, where she highlights the important role Dolley had in shaping her husband’s career and success through her renowned hospitality.
"Dolley Madison was known as being a great entertainer, I personally consider her to be a great diplomat," said Roy Young, President of James Madison’s Montpellier. "She really was the woman who started to define what the first lady’s responsibility would be," he continued. James and Dolley Madison were the first couple to live in the White House as president and first lady, as Jefferson had been a widower when he was in office, and both George Washington and John Adams spent a majority of their time in office in Philadelphia.More Related News
