Owner description:
Mrs. Wilson was the First Lady of President Woodrow Wilson, descendant of Pocahontas. The Bolling Home located on Main Street in Wytheville, Virginia is the birthplace and childhood home of one of the most influential, controversial, and politically significant women of the twentieth century, Edith Bolling Wilson (1872-1961). The Museum houses Bolling furniture, books, letters, art, photographs, and documents owned by Mrs. Wilson or donated by Bolling family members and friends. The second floor Bolling Home where the family lived from 1866-1899 is to be renovated. “Hard Hat” Tours of The Bolling Home will begin in April, 2010. Many historians have referred to Mrs. Wilson as “The First Woman President” or “The Secret President” because of her role in our country’s history after President Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919. Admission: Adults $4.00, Children $2.00, Group Rates Available
