National First Ladies Library offers monthly private tours of Jacqueline Kennedy exhibit

CANTON – The National First Ladies Library at the First Ladies National Historic Site is launching “Third Thursdays Night Out with the First Ladies.”

The events will be held at the site, 205 Market Ave. S, the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m., beginning May 18. 

The event includes a private, curator-led tour of the “Beyond Camelot” exhibition focused on the life and legacy of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. For a $30 ticket, guests will get a private tour of the exhibit as well as complimentary light appetizers and drink. 

"Beyond Camelot: The Life and Legacy of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis" features never-before-seen artifacts donated by Monte Durham of "Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta." The exhibition features a reproduction of Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding gown; the original dress is too delicate to display and is preserved at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

"Beyond Camelot: The Life and Legacy of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis" is open to the public through April 2024.

In addition to the Third Thursdays private curator tour events, private, curator-led tours can be arranged for organizations and groups to experience the Beyond Camelot exhibit more in-depth.
