Woodrow Wilson Family Home in Columbia South Carolina

We VERY briefly stopped by the Woodrow Wilson Family Home in Columbia South Carolina.

It is a bit odd the way things are set up here.  We parked near the home, but then saw a sign that we needed to go down a couple of blocks, to another home, to buy tickets for a tour.  There are actually several historic homes nearby, and the main office for all of them is operated out of one location.

So, we walked to the main building.  We asked about tickets and we were told that, on the day we showed up, school groups would be going through.  We could buy tickets for a tour, but we would be going in with the large school group tours, and we would be getting a very edited version of the tour.

You could tell that the person manning the ticket office felt bad about the situation.  He very kindly told us about some other events and sites in the area.

We decided that taking a few pictures form the outside would satisfy our need to see the Woodrow Wilson home in Columbia.

You didn't by chance see the "altered" Strom Thurmond monument did you?

We didn't, unfortunately. I am going to have to get back to this area..... We missed some things!
