 One of General Anthony Wayne's ancestors now possesses and maintains this beautiful mansion. She works at Waynesboro to educate the general public and to keep things well running. She is a volunteer at this site and never went to college. Before, she used to work as a tour guide at Monticello for 11 years. At Monticello, she was the only tour guide that had no college degree. Usually, guides need college degrees, but her exceptional efforts and performances caused her to not require one. The favorite part of her job is to imply history on others that don't know much about their cultural roots or the area they live in. Her responsibilities here are to act as a guide, build up Acme receipts, take care of the money, and she is a part of the house committee. According to her, " The challenging aspect of historical interpretation is making people realize that real history is true, not the fictional history people read and believe from movies. Her favorite event at Wayensboro is the Annual Dinner of the Year which is in October and is a fund raiser. She is behind the creation of the Chairman for the Green Sale during the Christmas season. For the artifacts acquired at Waynesboro, there is a budget that may not always be enough. She states that they have to fund raise for the money or sometimes generous people will donate artifacts. The funding for Waynesboro usually comes from fund raisers, visitors money, apartment and housing rented to certain people, and the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks. This intelligent lady believes that public history ought to be better funded because it is important for those who come before us to challenge those who come after so society can progress and keep the country growing.
