This is not a review for the museum - I visited years ago and it was lovely experience. However, with massive expansion and ongoing construction- I felt the need to stop by and ask them to consider installing traffic signs saying "dead end" and such to help navigate through the area . Because they completely changed road layout. Well, woman in visitors office couldn't be more unhelpful or indifferent - she went arguing with me about past of that road and... I'm just not sure what exactly she's doing in service industry. I meant to make helpful suggestion, ended up deciding never spend another dollar in this institution. Shame.

The Museum is a relatively small building on the street (with exhibits primarily on one floor), with Wilson's birthplace in a home a few doors down. Despite the small size, the exhibits did a decent job of highlighting some of the positives (League of Nations, less dependence on tariffs for government income, workmen's compensation, among others) and negatives (the guy was, shall we say, not supportive of integration when it came to African Americans). We spent about an hour in the Museum, including a few minutes in the WWI trench exhibit in the basement. All very interesting, well presented, and easy to understand. The highlight of our time was the docent-led tour of the Wilson home. Although Wilson lived in the home only for his first 18 months, the docent told a number of stories about Wilson's parents, Wilson's life there and later and it was a fascinating almost-hour time touring the building, asking questions and hearing the history.

I recommend taking the guided tour of Wilson's boyhood home and then visiting the museum. It's located in a residential neighborhood next to Mary Baldwin college. The staff was very friendly and they have a well stocked gift shop. Plenty of parking. I really enjoyed the WWI exhibit down stairs and the President's automobile. I did learn quite a bit about post WWI and the woman's suffrage movement. If you enjoy Presidential history this is a good museum.

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in Staunton, VA is absolutely worth a stop while in Virginia! Located in a charming downtown neighborhood, (already a treat), parking is easy and convenient.

Voted a best small town of America and what a well deserved title for this amazing town started 1800. I'm amazed at so many original buildings are still here and how beautiful the vibe is. I saw some amazing unique types of business that you won't see anywhere else. They even had a camera museum full of all the old cameras we had as kids given to us by our great grandparents. The rectangle Kodak camera, Polaroid cameras. That place was great. The antique shops were full of everything my great grandma had in her house that's just gone nowadays. Telephones of course, sewing machines, washboards and jewelry boxes. Staunton was a wonderland you just have to see! Enjoy my photos and put Staunton on your road trip list!

Staunton has been recognized as one of "The 20 Best Small Towns in America." After a few days here,…read moreI can understand why, especially if you are interested in the history of the American South. Incorporated officially in 1801, its founding goes back at least to 1747 when the plan for a town at this location was developed by the colonial governor of the Virginia Colony, and given the name Staunton after the popular governor's wife, Rebecca. I guess the name "Gooch," didn't pass muster (The actual name of the appointed official). The arrival of T.J. Collins in 1891 was the primary factor in the town having such a rich and diverse commercial and residential architecture. He and his two sons designed over 200 buildings downtown, primarily along Beverley and Augusta Streets, the main intersection. A guided or even unguided walking tour will show you many styles of classic architecture, including Romanesque Revival, Second Empire, Chateauesque, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, and Italianate. The Staunton Public Library is a result of the refurbishment of the original schoolhouse drafted and built under the guidance of T.J. He left behind a town center that make it unique and worthy of a few days exploration. When exhausted from all the intricacies of architecture and physically tired from climbing up and down the hills, you can take a break and visit The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum and catch a live performance at Blackfriars Theater. While there aren't many five star restaurants here, there are enough local kitchens to keep you satisfied and a brace of taverns and breweries to keep your stomach full and whistle wet almost any hour of the day, except Monday, when it seems most of town is closed up tight.
