Dolley Madison at Indian King

She was a role model and arguably the “first” first lady, and many Americans still associate her with ice cream. Dolley Madison was wife to fourth U.S. President James Madison and did more than introduce ice cream to the United States.

To share the rich history that Dolley Madison contributed to America, the Indian King Tavern Museum in Haddonfield, New Jersey, will host acclaimed re-enactor, Elizabeth Michaels. As Madison, she will recount colonial life as a first lady from her point-of-view.
