Mrs. Kennedy Arrives for Weekend Vacation at Wexford

This photograph, taken by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton on October 26, 1963, shows First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy arriving with her children Caroline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy, Jr. for a weekend getaway to their family estate in Akota, Virginia. They are accompanied by Maud Shaw, the children's governess. The Kennedys built the house on the 166-acre estate after losing their lease on Glen Ora, their former weekend vacation home near Middleburg, Virginia. Mrs. Kennedy named the house Wexford after the Irish county from which her husband's family could trace their ancestry.
