Haunted White House Tour: President & Mrs. Washington

This photograph was taken during a haunted Halloween tour of the White House on October 28, 2016. To celebrate the season and embrace the jovial mood of Halloween, historical interpreters playing the roles of former presidents, first ladies, and other notable Americans were featured on the tour, regaling visitors with old White House ghost stories. In this photograph, President George Washington, portrayed by Dean Malissa, and First Lady Martha Washington, portrayed by Carol Spacht, are seen in the East Garden Room. The couple are flanked by portraits of presidents Chester A. Arthur and Millard Fillmore. Interpreters also played the roles of Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Dolley Madison, Abigail Adams, Samuel Chase, and Maj. Archibald Butt.
