A Visit With…Martha Washington
George Washington is rightfully known as “the indispensable man.” However, few people really know the “worthy partner” who supported him through a long war for inde-pendence. Lady Washington followed her husband to every winter encampment, in-cluding Valley Forge, and then into the most powerful residence in the new nation, the President’s House in Philadelphia. As the “first” of our founding mothers, Martha Washington’s influence still resounds with us today.
Carol Spacht performs extensively in the Philadelphia region, presenting interactive programs to schools, libraries, and civic or-ganizations. Her portrayal of Martha Wash-ington has taken her from Valley Forge Park to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Carol also appears regularly as our nation’s premier flag maker at the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia.
