School House to White House: the Education of the Presidents November 28, 2007

Just in time for Spring Break, the family-friendly 'School House to White House' exhibition will engage visitors of every age and interest. Documents, artifacts, photos and films drawn from the collections of the National Archives Presidential Libraries reveal fascinating details about children that would grow up to be presidents. Journey back to a time of one room school houses, large public schools and private tutors. See these future presidents as young sports stars, choir members and musicians. Watch them mature into serious college and military academy students. Together these experiences demonstrate the variety of educational and extra-curricular experiences that trained and influenced our nation's future leaders.
