Did you know that John Quincy Adams kept an alligator in the bathtub, while Thomas Jefferson's pride and joy was his pair of bear cubs? Andrew Jackson had a potty-mouthed parrot, and Martin Van Buren got into a fight with Congress over his two baby tigers. This rollicking, rhyming look at the animal residents of the White House introduces each set of pets with a funny verse along with cool facts and presidential stats. This trek through history will delight any animal-lover.Ms. Moberg will present via Zoom. You can participate in her presentation from home or with others in the museum’s Burnham Hall. Signed books will be available for purchase in Museum Shop while supplies last. If you’re in the museum for the program, your tickets also include museum admission and our drop-in craft activity, making Pet Rocks! Event Partner: Charlesbridge PublishingMasks are required inside the Wenham Museum for all visitors aged 3 and up. For those of you watching in Burnham Hall, we invite you to visit the museum galleries after the party. To ensure the safety of all visitors as well as our staff and volunteers, the following adjustments have been made to the visitor experience:<ul><li>We ask each party/family group visiting the museum to consider a $5.00 donation to the museum's recovery fund. </li><li>If you must pay for your reservation with cash or check, please contact Visitor Services at (978) 468-2377, ext. 113 during business hours. </li><li>Keeping our newly expanded operating hours will require more donations to support staffing, utilities, and exhibit and program supplies. In a typical year, admissions, memberships, and shop sales provide just over 30% of the museum's funding. Your donation makes the difference! Make your donation online at wenhammuseum.org/donate.</li><li>Inclement Weather Policy: in the event of current or forecasted inclement weather, the Wenham Museum may need to close its galleries and gift shop. All weather-related closings will be posted on the museum's website and Facebook page at Facebook.com/WenhamMuseum.</li></ul> Questions? Please contact Visitor Services at info@wenhammuseum.org or by phone at (978) 468-2377, ext. 113.
