Washington, D.C. Then and Now

Originally hailing from rural New England, Emma developed an interest in history during her childhood through visits to local historic house museums. Emma first came to Washington D. C. in the pursuit of her postgraduate degree at George Washington University, having previously received her BA in History and Political Science at the University of New Hampshire. After completing her master's degree in Museum Studies, Emma continues to follow her passion for making museums more accessible to the public. Emma now works at President Lincoln's Cottage and you can find additional pieces by Emma on WETA's local history website, Boundary Stones.
