House to White House:
The Education of the Presidents
February
7 - August 30, 2009
Documents,
photographs and films drawn from the collections of
the National Archives Presidential Libraries reveal
fascinating details about children that would grow
up to be presidents. Journey back to a time of one
room school houses, large public schools, and private
tutors. See these future presidents as young sports
stars, choir members, and musicians. Watch them mature
into serious college and military academy students.
Together these experiences demonstrate the variety
of educational and extra-curricular experiences that
trained and influenced our nation's future leaders.
