A First Lady’s Birthplace Museum

Donate

Discover Edith Bolling Wilson’s birthplace and family home in Historic Downtown Wytheville, Virginia.

As one of only eight historic sites across the country dedicated to the interpretation of a First Lady, this museum tells the story of the overlooked, yet vitally important role Edith Bolling Wilson played in the White House at a pivotal moment during World War I. 

​Visit the Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum and tour the historic Bolling Family Home to discover how Edith Bolling Wilson's early life in the town of Wytheville, Virginia, prepared her for life as First Lady and learn how her stewardship of governmental duties earned her such labels as “The Secret President” and “The First Woman President.”
