One-Woman Show: Washington’s Childhood Christmas

Celebrate America 250 with a special one‑woman show and step into the warmth of an 18th‑century Christmas as George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball Washington, recalls the simple joys of her son’s early holidays. While today’s season sparkles with lights, gifts, and gatherings, Christmas in colonial Virginia was a quieter celebration rooted in family, faith, and tradition. Historical reenactor Jane Politi brings Mary to life in period dress, sharing stories of the Washington home and the cherished memories she preserved. Join us for a heartfelt journey into the Christmas past. Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library.
