events that happened in White House. The stories include how Civil War Union Soldiers burned a mill in
White House, wheat threshing during WWII when all the young men were at war overseas, and about a
lady that saved the farmers around this area during the Great War. Starting at 11:00 AM, London Eller will
perform period music from the porch. London has been singing at events since she was 8 and has
performed at rodeos in the US and Canada, sports events including Trevecca University and Nashville
Sounds games and even for the New Orleans Riverboat Natchez with the Dukes of Dixieland. London
plays guitar, mandolin, and piano. At 1:00 PM, the White House Dulcimer Players will perform on their
handmade stringed instruments. The White House Dulcimer Players consist of members from the local
area and have been playing for outside groups for several years. The instruments name means sweet
sound;. Invented in the Appalachian mountain region in the early 19th century, the dulcimer is speculated
to be a hybrid of many different European influences: the German zither, the Swedish Hummel, even the
Norwegian langeleik.
