    Birthplace of Woodrow Wilson--very well preserved

    We loved the tour of Woodrow Wilson's birthplace. While his family only lived here for a couple of years in a house owned by the Presbyterian Church where his father pastored, Staunton is the place of the Wilson Presidential Library as well. Definitely recommend it.

    I was in Staunton for a conference and extended my stay for a day to visit the Wilsom birthplace and the Wilson Presidential Library. Both the birthplace and the library were informative. As one might expect, President Wilson was presented in a (very) favorable light...More

    Little history

    Very good tour guide. Knew the history of Wilson and the home. Lot of period furniture. Great to see a place rich in history but not overrun with visitors.

    The tour of his childhood home is the most interesting part of the property. They have really done a nice job fixing the interior of the house up. It’s amazing to me how much less stuff people owned back then. There is a nice garden...More

    We opted to stop here on our way back home. This is where Wilson was born, and thus is his birth home and a museum. A docent takes you through the home and talks about how they lived and what the area was like then....More
