I’ve never thought much about Woodrow Wilson, but this video makes me want to go see this house.

I want to take every one of the tours she mentions at the end and i want Ms. Karcher to lead each one! I toured the house once about 25 years ago and my guide that day really made the history of the building come alive. Ms. Karcher has that same ability and then some. Thanks so much for a great video!

Fascinating video. I visited this house in 1972 when I was an undergraduate studying politics on the Washington Semester at nearby American University. Wilson was a racist yet also a very great man, a real contradiction. He fought against injustice and inequality in his career yet as a son of the South supported Jim Crow.

I been on that tour - very good and a lovely home. One has to walk up a pretty steep hill, but down the street is a textile museum as well.

One of my favorite places in Washington.

I'm so happy to hear all the information you gave about Waddy Wood. He's my grandfather's cousin.
