The History Hat - The Anderson House

Discover the link between a beaux-arts mansion in Dupont Circle, Washington DC, and the American Revolutionary War. The answer lies in the Society of the Cincinnati, which is home to the American Revolution Institute. Hear the controversy surrounding the Society's decision to permit male heirs to inherit the seats of their ancestors, veteran officers of the Revolutionary War. In this episode, we also reimagine what it was like to be a dinner guest of Larz and Isabel Anderson during Washintion's busy winter social season at the turn of the 20th century. They don't call it the gilded age for nothing! Watch how the decision in 1784 to permit hereditary inheritance of a Society membership led to Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill's membership in 1952, where he received his insignia addressed an audience gathered at the Anderson House.
