For instance, you’ll note the Madison’s feature in several of our stories, such an impactful and energetic they really left their mark on Washington society, then and now. Dolly Madison was renowned for hosting elegant and cordial soirees with members of both political parties in attendance, she was convinced that just because people disagreed on how the country should be run it was no reason to not be able to engage in civil discourse with on another.
She pioneered the spirit of bipartisan cooperation, long before the term was in use.
That her ghost continues to wander the streets of Washington today is a timely reminder that such an attitude would be welcome today. Perhaps if any tour members see her ghost they can encourage her to haunt the capitol!
Entertainment with a historical twist
The knowledgeable and entertaining guides on DC ghosts will hold your attention in the palm of their hands as they tell you about the latter half of Dolly Madison’s life. Her financial ruin after her husband’s death. The worry caused by the need to manage two properties. Her name being added to a brand of ice-cream, among many other products and trinkets, all bearing her name. All opportunities et up by a circle of caring friends.
Imagine the sorrow and loss of pride as friends passed by with even more thin and transparent reasons to give her cash. A former slave even visited regularly, pretending to still be buying his freedom, even though he had paid for it many years ago.
Dolly Madison’s ghost was often seen just after her death, on the porch that Dolly Madison used to greet passersby from. The subsequent owner of the house tried to discourage the ghost by blocking in the porch with a window. But still, her ghost would appear. Waving at people passing by.
As you stand outside the Cutts-Madison house and stare at where the porch used to be, maybe you will see her ghost. Feel your heart race as you learn more about the ghosts at each tour stop, perhaps even seeing movement in the dark as you walk along the guided route.
