The 28th President spent his last years in the red brick townhouse on S Street in Washington’s Kalorama section. The former New Jersey governor, president of Princeton University and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize died there on February 3, 1924, three years after departing the White House.

“The Wilson House and its authentic collections are unique among the historic house and presidential sites in this country”, said Frank J. Aucella, Executive Director of the Woodrow Wilson House - National Trust. “They are worth promoting to a national and international audience for their completeness.”

The Wilson House is turning to the Internet and Web to make this historic treasure available to an expanded audience.

Prospect Technologies will add interactive media to the Wilson House web site (www.woodrowwilsonhouse.org) with extensive information on President Wilson’s life and two terms in the White House. He led the nation into World War I and afterwards crusaded for the League of Nations, forerunner to the United Nations.

The National Trust is fortunate to have in its possession almost a lifetime of the President’s detailed diaries. With these diaries and the collections of photographs, books, journals, and much of his personal and house-hold goods, a day-by-day record of his life through the White House and retirement years can be reconstructed. Prospect Technologies, in concert with the historians from the National Trust, will be creating a multi-media presentation allowing a viewer to ‘experience’ any day in President Wilson’s later life.

When completed, the Web site and its interactive links will allow the visitor to explore the Woodrow Wilson House via the Web, create reservations for onsite tours, and view the Timeline Journal. Prospect Technologies will also provide the Wilson House management tools to coordinate visits and tours as well as features, news and events on the Web site.

The expanded Web site is made possible by support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
