Tour 2009

Riding Tour of Presidential Homes

See the modest homes and grand mansions in Washington’s tree-lined neighborhoods where 20^th century Presidents lived before and after the White House. Pass by the first home bought by Senator Richard Nixon, the one-room apartment rented by newlyweds Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson and the fashionable building where ensign John F. Kennedy rented during World War II. See where Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower lived frugally, where a budget-conscious Harry Truman rented and where young Franklin Roosevelt escaped a terrorist explosion.  

Drive in front of the plush homes and diplomatic residences once home to Herbert Hoover, Warren Harding, Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft.  Along the way, see where Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson lived after succeeding to the presidency but before they moved into the White House.  As a bonus, glimpse embassies, grand homes of foreign ambassadors and the residences of famous Washingtonians of the past and present.
