Sariah Clonts

The incomparable Sariah Clonts brings General Washington, and now Mrs. Washington, to life on canvas. Sariah captures scenes and moments in history in thousands of photographs, and then chooses split seconds of a scene to translate to art. Please see some of her work on Instagram here. I am grateful to Sariah for most of the images on this website.

Steve Gilbert

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Gilbert at the Bidwell House Museum in Monterey, MA in September 2021. He photographed me in their magnificent house museum, and in their Carriage House during my Visit with Mrs. Washington. Steve's talent has brought me these beautiful photos and captured one of the great experiences I have had as Martha - firing a cannon! Steve may be reached HERE.

Al Pochek

The General first introduced Al to me at Newburgh, three years ago. Al does beautiful work capturing the battles, daily life, and historic events that we so enjoy participating in. We are grateful to Al for documenting what we cannot, as the Washingtons did not take selfies! See all of Al's beautiful work on his Facebook Page.

At the Sign of the Golden Scissors/Larkin & SMith

My dearest friends and fairy godmothers, Hallie Larkin and Stephanie Smith, are responsible for Mrs. Washington to appear fully clothed in public, at sites, and in programs. As they have just sold their outstanding business to a new owner, please visit Emily's site At the Sign of the Golden Scissors to purchase patterns, as well as various other 18th century necessities, to create your own 18th century wear.
