The rat had collected historic materials from different eras, including a woman's shoe, a paper spool with wool thread, rope, yarn, binding tape, two buttons, and scraps of cloth. Perhaps most notable was a small scrap of white cotton dimity, the fabric used in the Washingtons' bed curtains.
In 1949, preservation staff removed a rat's nest from behind a wall in the Washingtons' bedchamber. 🐀
