Dolley Madison was born in Virginia in 1768 and married James Madison in September of 1794. Known for her cheerful demeanor and being a gracious host at many of her wildly popular social gatherings attended by the most influential members of society. Replacing the smaller dinners preferred by previous Presidential families with larger events which came to be known as dove parties, these functions became venues were current events could be discussed by many in a relaxed setting.
These functions were left to the wayside for a time in 1814 as British troops made progress in it's invasion of Washington, D.C. nearly succeeded. Disregarding the warnings of city officials to flee the city, Dolley Madison stayed in her place of residence until the very last moment. When finally taking her leave of the White House, she is credited with saving many valuable items and documents including George Washington's portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart.
Honored here in the beautiful Dolley Madison First Spouse $10 Gold Coin, which features 1/2 -oz of .9999 fine gold, and depicts her heroic efforts made during that difficult time in our nation's history.
