Review:
Edith Bolling Wilson was the wife of President Woodrow Wilson, and America’s First Lady from 1914 to 1919. After President Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919, the First Lady took “stewardship of the presidency” for 17 months until the end of his term. The museum includes Bolling Wilson’s birthplace and family home and offers several exhibits dedicated to display of documents, photographs and artifacts related to the First Lady’s life. Events include the Allied Dinner Series, a dinner and lecture program focused on World War I, which invites professors from area Universities to lead talks and discussion. Group tours are available. The Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum is one of just eight in the nation to focus on the achievements and life of a First Lady.
