A Lock of Washington's Hair in Nazareth

As far as anyone can tell President George Washington neither slept, nor visited Nazareth, but the Whitefield House does have a lock of his hair.

Historian and Nazareth teacher James Wright has an article on Washington's visits to Northampton County in the Express-Times (read it here).

In the article he notes:

One interesting relic from Washington's 1782 visit still exists.

While in Bethlehem, Washington gave a lock of his hair -- the 18th century version of a modern autograph -- to a young Moravian girl named Roseanna Beidleman.

The hair was preserved in a locket and can still be seen at the Whitefield House in Nazareth.
