The 2nd floor study was where Woodrow Wilson's father spent much of his time writing sermons.  For his 56th birthday, President-Elect Wilson was invited to Staunton to celebrate his presidential win and his birthday. The city put on quite a show for Woodrow and his wife Ellen, complete with a parade, a speech and a fine dinner and he slept in this room.  
	
	This portrait of George Washington belonged to Wilson hung various times while we was at Princeton University.  Wilson would later write a biography about his fellow Virginian and US President.
	
	The Woodrow Wilson Birthplace, referred to as "The Manse", which is the name of a Presbyterian minister's home, was originally built in 1846 by the Staunton First Presbyterian Church.  Wilson's father, Joseph Ruggles Wilson, was ordained 1855 and along with his wife Jessie Woodrow Wilson and their daughters Marion and Annie, moved into this house.  Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born in what is now called the "birth room" on December 28, 1856. The Wilsons left The Manse in 1858 when Joseph Wilson accepted a call from a congregation in Augusta, Georgia.  The house was opened to the public in 1941, being formally dedicated as a museum by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 
	
	The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum, located in Staunton Virginia, features a museum that explores the life and times of Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), a 6800-square-foot Research Library, and the 28th President of the United States' birthplace.
