Woodrow Wilson House, District of Columbia

After serving two terms as the President of the United States (1913-1921) Woodrow Wilson retired, and lived here, in a house off Embassy Row in Washington DC, in failing health, for the last three years of his life. He died in 1924 in his bedroom upstairs, and is interred in Washington National Cathedral, just up the road. His widow, Edith, who had first found this house for them, lived there until she died, in 1961. The National Trust for Historic Preservation took it over, and opened it to the public in 1963.
