Description

The President Woodrow Wilson House is pleased to announce our newest special exhibit. The exhibit opened on February 3, 2024. On that day, we commemorated the 100th anniversary of the passing of President Woodrow Wilson. A century after Wilson’s death, we find ourselves at a unique juncture in time—a moment to reflect upon the profound impacts, the remarkable achievements, and the persistent controversies that have shaped our nation and the world. Woodrow Wilson's tenure in the White House, from 1913 to 1921, was a time of profound transformation, one marked by visionary statesmanship and, at the same time, complex moral and political challenges.

In this exhibition, we have meticulously curated a dual-sided narrative—one that pays tribute to the significant milestones of Wilson's presidency and, in equal measure, delves into the multifaceted controversies that have resonated through the decades. It is an exhibition that encapsulates both the brilliance and the complexities of Wilson's leadership, inviting us to examine, question, and contemplate.
