The incredible Jacqueline Kennedy was born 95 years ago today. 31 years later, she was First Lady. What she created, including @WhiteHouseHstry, continues. It’s an honor to be part of her living legacy, supporting the museum standard of the White House and teaching its history.

Happy Birthday to an extraordinary First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy! She was determined to make the White House a living museum and she did. Remember her White House tour? Watch an excerpt below. #firstladies
In 1962, Mrs. Kennedy oversaw the publication of the first White House guidebook for tourists and led a televised tour of the Executive Mansion, bringing the rich history of the People’s House to household audiences.  📽️: @CBS
