The Gowns gallery features wedding gowns worn by Julie Nixon on occasion of her marriage to David Eisenhower (President Eisenhower’s grandson), and by Tricia Nixon on the occasion of her Rose Garden wedding at the White House to Edward Cox. A bridesmaid dress is also displayed next to Julie’s gown as well as a light blue garter worn by Julie as “something old” passed down to her by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. Pat Nixon’s mother-of-the-bride dress worn during Tricia’s wedding is also on display, as well as her second inaugural turquoise gown. The red coat with fur trimming she wore during the President’s historic trip to China in 1972 is also on display.
