Lonely Planet review

This Georgian-revival mansion offers guided hour-long tours focusing on the 28th president's life and legacy. Genteel elderly docents discuss highlights of Wilson's career (WWI, the League of Nations) and home, which has been restored to the period of his residence (1921-24). A lovely garden, a stairwell conservatory, European bronzes, 1920s-era china and Mrs Wilson's elegant dresses all paint a glamorous portrait of Roaring '20s DC society.
