What Your Contributions Support

The Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum and birthplace site allow visitors to consider what life was like for rural families in the South during the reconstruction era, to imagine the bucolic childhood of a young Edith, and to follow her unexpected journey from Wytheville to the White House. The museum highlights her accomplishments as First Lady and beyond, including her leadership by example during World War I, her involvement in the Girl Scouts and how she paved the way for unprecedented female leadership, her stewardship of the President’s health and work following Woodrow Wilson’s stroke, and her dedication to her late husband’s legacy for the remainder of her life.

In addition to interpreting Edith's life and childhood home, the museum is a tourist attraction, a fieldtrip destination, and a repository of information about the Wilson presidential administration. We offer educational programming for all ages through Living History reenactments, curricula, events, presentations, and workshops.
