Honoring Women: Woodrow Wilson House
Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, the second Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, donated this home to the National Trust for Historic Preservation upon her death.
In 1921, after leading the nation through the first World War, President Woodrow Wilson moved to this elegant Washington home. This dignified townhouse in the capital’s Embassy Row neighborhood was a quiet haven for the Wilsons. Noted as Washington’s only presidential museum, the Wilsons' home presents a fascinating glimpse into the life of an educator, scholar and world statesman.
The Woodrow Wilson House is owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
