The Dolley Madison Controversy
The Time Travelers history club is chartered by the North Carolina Museum of History and are a part of their Tar Heel Junior Historian Association, which gives them the opportunity to participate in events and competetions run by the Mueum. Every spring, the Museum holds a competition for historical work by students. Students can compete in many different ways: by building an exhibit, creating a documentary, exploring historic markers and monuments, taking photographs of artifacts, writing a magazine article, and more. Because our goal is to learn and share history, three Time Travelers' students decided to create a documentary about a fascinating (and somewhat hidden) part of Person County history for the 2019 competition.
