The timeless home of our 28th 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.

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 dynamic cultural institution. As Executive Director, Elizabeth manages the strategy and operations of this historic house and museum. The site’s current focus is on the themes of African American history, women’s history, and Wilson’s international impact. The Wilson House team is dedicated to ensuring that the House is a place for open dialogue and discussion of important historical issues related to the Wilson Presidency. Elizabeth’s team encompasses curatorial, operations, and rental managers, as well as 20 trained museum guides.
