Not much, right? This is a fun way to test your knowledge and learn something about the War of 1812 focusing on its events in Washington, DC. Actors portraying Dolley Madison and the Madison's servant Paul Jennings quiz visitors at the historic Dumbarton House in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC with multiple-choice questions. Other information includes prints from the Library of Congress, and video footage from War of 1812 reenactments at the Riversdale Mansion in Bladensburg, MD and on board the replica 1812 privateer schooner Pride of Baltimore II. Period music plays in the background, there are scenes of 1812 fashions, and a genteel lady recites a recipe for Federal-era oyster soup over the closing credits.
