They put out the welcome mat for us. |
The front door of Wheatland. It's maintained just as it was in the 1860s! |
The back door of Wheatland. |
Buchanan was always concerned about safety.
He was a lawyer, you know.
|
He was not much into gardening.
|
I imagined the President stacking these bricks. |
He was ahead of his time in some ways. |
Buchanan's Mutt Mitt is still in use today! |
We were promised a frog pond in the pamphlet, but there were no frogs and no ponds. I settled for this odd ice house/smoke house combo. |
Traffic in front of Wheatland. Cool convertible, dude. |
The President was imaginative in parking his carriage. |
The number of holes is proportionate to wealth and prestige. We didn't realize these were non-functional. Oopsie! |
The gift shop had these tiny coffins. I thought there might be bits of Buchanan in them but was afraid to look. |
loved the old carriage
