Visiting the Monticello of America's Least Well-Remembered President
✍️ • 🕑 • Series: Attractions of Pennsylvania • Places: President James Buchanan's Wheatland
Last October, I visited Pennsylvania for a wedding. Afterwards, I spent a few extra days staying with my parents.
And, I was absolutely, positively, chomping at the bit to visit Wheatland, the former estate of U.S. President James Buchanan. My parents seemed markedly less enthusiastic. But, they were still happy to drive me there.
