Today we remember Rosalynn Carter, First Lady from 1977-1981. In this July 1978 photo, she’s visiting @amhistorymuseum, then known as the National Museum of History and Technology, to donate her gold-trimmed blue chiffon inaugural gown to the collection. She’d first worn the dress to her husband’s inaugural ball as governor of Georgia—and repeated the outfit. She is pictured with Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley and political history curator Margaret Klapthor. This photo is in the collection of our @SmithsonianArch.
