History Webinar: Full Circle - Washington Irving at Lindenwald
–
October 3, 2022
America's first literary celebrity, Washington Irving, had a decades long friendship with our 8th president. Join Martin Van Buren National Historic Site seasonal Park Guide Melissa Dalley to learn how they met, why they had a falling out, and if they ultimately reconciled.
In addition to being a Park Guide, Melissa Dalley is an artist & writer. Having given tours at Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site many years ago, Melissa may have started this summer with an unfairly low opinion of Irving - Poe was not a fan. But after reading many of Irving's letters she's coming around.
