VIDEO: White House Historian William Seale talks about Ten Chimneys on C-Span

December 24, 2008

Some of you may have noticed that C-Span has been promoting a new documentary they’ve made called “The President’s House,” based on a book by acclaimed historian William Seale. Bill, of course, worked closely with us to effective restore Ten Chimneys, prior to our public opening. More than a decade after he first got involved, Bill remains a passionate advocate for Ten Chimneys Foundation. In the course of an interview about his book and the documentary, Bill happily digresses to talk about Ten Chimneys (for over three minutes).
