History Happy Hour: From Winterthur to the White House - Jacqueline Kennedy and H. F. du Pont
In 1961, an unusual partnership was formed when Jacqueline Kennedy appointed a reserved octogenarian collector from Delaware, Henry Francis du Pont, to lead her project to restore the White House interiors. Together, they transformed the White House from a public residence into a museum. Along the way, they engaged with some of the most celebrated interior designers of the 20th century.
