A couple of years ago, I set a goal...

...to visit every Presidential museum in the United States. Each visit is a journey through history, uncovering fascinating stories of triumphs and tribulations. 

So far, I've been to:

-George Washington
-Thomas Jefferson
-James Buchanan
-Abraham Lincoln
-Rutherford B. Hayes
-Woodrow Wilson
-Warren G. Harding
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
-Lyndon B. Johnson
-Richard Nixon
-Jimmy Carter
-Ronald Reagan
-George H. W. Bush
-George W. Bush

Each museum offers a unique glimpse into the lives and legacies of these leaders. 

Since it's his birthday today, I want to share my experience at the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library, which was my most recent visit.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, led the nation through World War I and was a pioneer in several areas:

📜 First State of the Union Address: Wilson was the first President to deliver the State of the Union address in person since Thomas Jefferson.

🌍 First President to Leave the United States: He became the first sitting President to travel outside the United States when he attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

📚 Prolific Author: Wilson wrote 30 books, demonstrating his scholarly prowess long before he took office.

📻 First National Radio Address: He pioneered the use of radio to communicate directly with the American people, setting a precedent for future Presidents.

💍 A White House Wedding: Wilson is the only President to have married in the White House, marrying Edith Bolling Galt in 1915.

⚾ First Pitch Tradition: He started the tradition of the Presidential first pitch at baseball games, a custom still cherished today.

🤝 Meeting with a Pope: He was the first sitting President to meet with a Pope, Benedict XV, during his visit to Europe.

🍷 Prohibition Era: His time in office coincided with the onset of Prohibition, an era vividly illustrated by his interactions at the French Embassy.

Wilson's museum is a treasure trove of these firsts and more, providing a detailed look at his impactful yet extremely controversial presidency. 

Visiting these museums not only deepens my appreciation for history but also highlights the human side of these iconic figures. Each story and artifact adds a layer to my understanding of leadership and legacy.
