Woodrow Wilson Museum, Staunton VA May 2023

Woodrow Wilson lived in the house when he was little. It has a lot of the original furnishings used by the Wilson’s when he lived here. And then when he was president he came back and stayed in the house for a few nights.

And there’s lots of exhibits and info on him and his presidency in the museum.

They would have sand on the floor to catch the embers.

The chore room. And where they would take their weekly bath. The whole family in the same tub of water. The baby last. And then they’d throw the dirty water out. “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!”

No running water so they would keep water, that they had to go a block away to get, in barrels.

This was Woodrow’s father’s actual chair.

The honey pot! Pee pot! Under the bed.

The actual bed and chair he slept in and sat in when he visited as president.

The actual chair Woodrow’s mother sat in daily.
