“We are very excited about the winter season this year,” said site manager Chris Wilkinson, “We are enjoying being able to take the public back through the historic Saxton House again, as well as continuing our ongoing virtual efforts for programming both in the Canton community and beyond. We are looking forward to a busy winter season. We invite everyone to visit us and learn more about the important role of First Ladies in our nation’s history.”
A virtual tour of the Saxton Home can be found here.
The National First Ladies Library, non- profit partner to First Ladies NHS, completely restored the Saxton home in the late 1990’s making it one of the unique presidential homes preserved for the American People. The Saxton House became a National Pak Service Site in 2000, and both organizations work together to interpret the history of First Ladies today.
