History

While the former first lady was one of the earliest to fight for womens equality, Harrison was also an avid artist and painter. While serving as first lady she still made time to attend weekly art classes and even designed and preserved presidential china. Harrison was also the first to modernize the White House introducing the planning for the East and West Wings as well as bringing electricity to the White House. The First Spouse Gold Coin Program is in place to honor the legacies that each first lady made. Caroline Harrison, as evidenced by this coin, left a lasting legacy.
