Ages 18 & up. Chief Justice John Marshall led a successful life and career, but he did not get there on his own. In the wings existed a line of strong women who supported him, both through personal volition, and through force. Join us as we explore the lives and presence of Marshall’s wife, Polly, his sisters, mother, and numerous enslaved women like Hannah and Celia, who spent time in the John Marshall House between 1790 and 1835.
