Too stricken in body and spirit to remain for the inauguration of his successor, Woodrow Wilson left the capitol and motored to his new residence in the Kalorama section of Washington, D.C. on March 4, 1921. To his surprise, several hundred people were waiting to watch him enter the house where he would spend the last three years of his life. Each year, thousands still visit the final home of the twenty- eighth President. The house remains for us today as it was when he lived here, a place for insightful reflection on his career as educator, social reformer, and world statesman. |
Built in 1915 by architect Waddy Wood, the house is a fine example
of the Georgian revival style. After purchasing the property in 1921,
Wilson and his wife Edith remodeled it to suit their needs. The structure
and its interior have been carefully preserved to reflect the era of their residence here.
Cost: $10.00 per person
