The President's House in Philadelphia - Part 2: Uncovering a Well
Part of a series chronicling the 2007 excavation of the President's House on Market Street in Philadelphia. From 1790 to 1800, this house served as the White House for American presidents George Washington and John Adams, and was the site of the signing of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Critical to the history of the site is the story of the enslaved persons who were held on the property during George Washington's tenancy, and their living quarters' proximity to what is now the Liberty Bell Center.

In athletics, the Quakers field varsity teams in 33 sports as a member of the NCAA Division I Ivy League conference and hold a total of 210 Ivy League championships as of 2017. In 2018, the university had an endowment of $13.8 billion, the seventh largest endowment of all colleges in the United States, as well as an academic research budget of $966 million.

5 Ghosts of Presidents Haunting White House
5 Ghosts of Presidents Haunting White House
Number 5: Abraham Lincoln
The most well-known White House ghost is the shade of Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated in 1865. The first person to report seeing Lincoln’s ghost was First Lady Grace Coolidge, who lived in the White House in the 1920s. She reportedly saw him standing at a window in the Oval Office, looking across the Potomac to what had once been Civil War battlefields. A well-known Lincoln ghost story was reported by 20th-century British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was a guest at the White House. After a long bath, and naked except for a cigar, he walked into the adjoining bedroom
Another interesting Lincoln sighting was in 1942, when Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands answered a knock at the door of the White House bedroom where she was staying, saw Lincoln standing there in a coat and top hat, and fainted. Others said to have seen Lincoln within the White House include Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Dwight Eisenhower; First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson; and presidential children Susan Ford and Maureen Reagan. Both Maureen Reagan and her husband saw Lincoln at the fireplace in the Lincoln Bedroom, like Churchill.
Number 4 : Willie Lincoln
People have also reported seeing Abraham Lincoln’s 11-year-old son Willie Lincoln, who died in the White House in 1862 of typhoid fever. Staff members of the Grant Administration first saw Willie’s ghost in the 1870s.
He was seen as recently as the 1960s, when President Lyndon Johnson’s daughter Lynda Bird Johnson Robb saw Willie’s ghost — he had died in the room in which she was staying — and she says she talked with him.
Number 3 : Dolley Madison
First Lady Dolley Madison planted the famous White House rose garden in the early 1800s, and then 100 years later, First Lady Ellen Wilson requested the garden be dug up. But garden workers reported that Dolley Madison’s ghost appeared and refused to let them tear up her garden. Since then, an unexplained smell of roses is sometimes experienced inside the White House and it’s attributed to the ghost of Dolley.
Number 2 : Andrew Jackson
The Rose Bedroom was President Andrew Jackson’s bedroom, and many White House employees claim to have seen or heard the former president in this room; they say he is either laughing heartily or swearing heavily. First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln is among those who heard him cursing in the room.
Number 1 : Abigail Adams
Abigail Adams and her husband John, the second president of the United States (1797-1801), moved to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from the former U.S. capital in Philadelphia. At the time, Washington, D.C. was still just a town, built mostly on swampy land on the banks of the Potomac River. Because the East Room of the new White House was the warmest and driest, Abigail used it to hang the wash. Her ghost, clad in a cap and lace shawl, has reportedly been seen heading towards the East Room, arms outstretched as if carrying laundry.
There were quite a few sightings during the Taft years, but some tourists reportedly saw her as recently as 2002. (Lincoln has also been seen in the East Room; it’s where his body lay in state after he was assassinated.)

History as Cultural Work: The President's House Project in Philadelphia
Louis Massiah, the 2010-11 Lang Visiting Professor for Issues of Social Change, speaks about the five-channel video installation at the President's House site in Philadelphia that opened in December 2010. These dramatic vignettes look at the lives of the nine enslaved Africans brought to Philadelphia by George and Martha Washington during the country's first presidency (1790-1797) and the resistance of the free African American community, and explore the contradictions of freedom and slavery in establishing a new nation. Massiah is joined by Karen Warrington, member of the Project Oversight Committee and director of communications for U.S. Congressman Bob Brady; Lorene Cary, scriptwriter; Novella Nelson, actor; Beth Warshafsky, digital media painter/computer graphics art director; and W. Tre Davis, actor. Massiah is founder and director of the Scribe Video Center.
