The Woodrow Wilson Family Home is South Carolina's only presidential site and Columbia's earliest example of historic preservation advocacy. Traditionally celebrated for its association with the nation's 28th president, this circa-1871 property also remains as an important link to one of the United States' most pivotal eras - Reconstruction. When activists saved the property from destruction in 1928, this neighborhood looked much like it did when the Wilson family lived here. In the decades that followed redevelopment erased much of this earlier residential character and landscape. Today, this local landmark operates as a museum in an historically appropriate setting.
