Hi All,
Woodrow Wilson's family moved to Staunton, VA where his father was a Presbyterian minister in 1855. Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born in 1856. In his early years he was called Tommy. Later he dropped the Tommy, believing "Woodrow", his mother's maiden name, was more dignified.
This site includes his birthplace, his museum and library.
Wilson earned a PhD from Princeton (the only President to have a PhD) and later serves as President of Princeton. This is his desk from Princeton.
The museum has extensive exhibits covering his time as NJ Governor his two presidential campaigns and highlights of his time as President.
His favorite car was this huge V-12 Pierce-Arrow.
Here's the house where he was born.
In the kitchen we saw this stove with different ranges of heat, leading to the term "range". Carl took this picture just before we spotted the " No Photography" sign!
Before electronic funds transfers, this was how money moved between banks. Wilson was on the biggest note.
In the gift shop we found this T shirt with a quote from Wilson.
Too bad we have no more room in the coach.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
