After Jacksons swearing-in ceremony and address to Congress, the new president returned to the White House to meet and greet a flock of politicians, celebrities and citizens. Very shortly, the crowd swelled to more than 20,000, turning the usually dignified White House into a boisterous mob scene.
Some guests stood on furniture in muddy shoes while others rummaged through rooms looking for the presidentbreaking dishes, crystal and grinding food into the carpet along the way. (White House staff reported the carpets smelled of cheese for months after the party.)
In an attempt to draw partygoers out of the building, servants set up washtubs full of juice and whiskey on the White House lawn.
