The Henry family on the grounds of the Smithsonian, about 1865:
The Henrys lived here in eight rooms as their personal quarters while Joseph was Secretary of the Institution. Eldest daughters Mary kept a journal during the Civil War years, documenting the comings and goings of soldiers to the Castle, and nearby battles.
