Experience history on August 3, 2019 at President James Buchanan’s Wheatland. In this first-person presentation, old college friends James Buchanan “Buck” Henry and Christian Scharff catch up during a holiday at Lake George. Visitors will learn about the tension between Buck and his uncle, President James Buchanan, and how that tension drove him to visit Lake George in the first place. However, in the midst of his respite from the political world, Buck has left his sweetheart, Mary, behind. Visitors will get a chance to hear the correspondence between Buck and Mary and learn more about their relationship and how letter-writing has enabled them to still remain close despite the distance between them.
