Geneva History Center presents A Visit With Jackie Kennedy at 2 p.m. this Saturday, Mach 23.
It is 1964, and former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy is besieged by sightseers around her house in Georgetown. As she deliberates what to do next, she shares the story of her life in the White House, including her struggle to retain her family’s privacy in the face of media onslaughts, her restoration work, and her attempts to showcase the arts.

History comes alive in the talented hands of historian Leslie Goddard who tells fascinating stories and creates vivid portraits of some of history's most memorable women. A 50-minute program based on meticulous research using primary sources including journals, speeches, newspapers, autobiographies, and personal writings. Suitable for all ages.
