Description: The President Woodrow Wilson House The timeless home of our 28 th president, perfectly preserved from the 1920s, serves as an unforgettable backdrop for learning about our past as Americans. The trust opened the doors of the museum in 1963 for visitors to explore this significant site with over 8,400 one-of-a-kind historic artifacts. The book boasts a treasure trove of images from the trust museum's archives, offering a visually stunning journey through history. On March 4, 1921, Woodrow and Edith Wilson moved from the White House into their new home - just a mile and a half away - at 2340 S Street, NW in Washington, DC's Kalorma neighborhood. The former president lived here until his death in 1924. Edith called it home until her passing in 1961, at which time she bequeathed the house and its furnishing to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to serve as a monument to President Wilson. A century after Woodrow Wilson left office, his policies and legacy continue to animate our national conversations about American foreign policy, race relations, and the meanings of progressivism and democracy. The President Woodrow Wilson House's executive director, Elizabeth A. Karcher, presents a meticulously researched and engaging narrative that illuminates the house's evolution from private residence to a dynamic cultural institution. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private, nonprofit organization that works to save America's historic places, owns and operates the Woodrow Wilson House.
