In Part 1 of World Travels of U.S. Presidents, it was determined that Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover didn't get out of the country much while in office. However, Presidents Roosevelt (Franklin D.), Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon certainly logged some miles. Have you visited any of the same countries these past Presidents visited?
Thanks to the U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian, we have put together maps showing the World Travels of U.S. Presidents. Over the
next week or two follow along and you'll see who wins the prize as the most
traveled U.S. President. All of the maps will be put on our Pinterest Page for easy access and viewing. The maps were created using Travel Goal Getter iPad App, available in the app store.
