When George Washington died in December 1799, the nation mourned - but one man had a different idea. William Thornton, a Quaker doctor-turned-architect who designed the U.S. Capitol Building, arrived at Mount Vernon with a shocking proposal: to resurrect the first president using a combination of warmth, lamb's blood, and bellows. Join us as we explore the fascinating life of Thornton and his bizarre plan that thankfully never came to fruition.
