Since I was very young, I’ve immersed myself in presidential history, and have loved visiting historical sites associated with our nation’s leaders. Today, my friend, Jeff Carter, and I were discussing our bucket lists of places to visit, and I decided to make a list of places I wish to visit, and places I’ve visited.
Presidential Sites I wish to visit:
- Truman’s Independence, Missouri home
- Truman’s Library & Grave in Independence, Missouri
- Eisenhower’s grave in Kansa
- Wilson’s Washington DC home
- Wilson’s birthplace in Staunton, Virginia
- Roosevelt Campobello Island summer home
- Roosevelt’s Warm Springs in Georgia
- Adams’ Peacefield Home & Birthplaces
- Madison’s Montpelier in Virginia
- Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, Texas
- Nixon’s Library, Grave & Birthplace
- Ford’s Library & Grave
- Reagan’s Library & Grave
- Kennedy Library
- Andrew Johnson’s Home/Gravesite in Greensboro, Tennessee
- Buchanan Pennsylvania home/grave in Pennsylvania
