Discover Edith Bolling Wilson’s Birthplace and Family Home in Historic Downtown Wytheville, Virginia

Step into history at the Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum - the only First Lady birthplace museum in Virginia and one of only eight sites in the nation dedicated to sharing the stories of America’s First Ladies.

Explore the remarkable journey of Edith Bolling Wilson, a woman once called “The Secret President” and “The First Woman President.” Often overlooked, Edith played a vital role in shaping American history during World War I, quietly taking the reins of power during one of the nation's most critical moments.

Tour the historic Bolling Family Home in charming Downtown Wytheville and discover how Edith’s upbringing in this small Virginia town prepared her for a future no one could have predicted. From her humble beginnings to her extraordinary influence in the White House, her story will surprise and inspire you.
