I'm really getting to visit a lot of places that Presidents of the United States have lived on this trip. I started in Washington, DC, where the President lives when in office. I already posted an entry about my trip to the White House. Do you remember who the current President is? If not, here's a link to that post.
Then it was on the Nashville, home of two Presidents and one Vice-President. Do you know who they were?
Here's the first one:
Andrew Jackson, U.S. President 1829 - 1837 |
Just a few years later, there was another President from Nashville:
James K. Polk, U.S. President 1845-1849 |
Al Gore, U.S. Vice-President 1993-2001 |
And now I'm headed to Northampton - home of another President! In fact, long before he was President, he was on the Northampton City Council and then the mayor of the city.
Calvin Coolidge, Northampton Mayor 1910-1911, U.S. Vice-President 1921-1923, U.S. President 1923-1929 |
