In this second to last post on the World Travels of U.S. Presidents, we track the travels of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan. Can you guess which President only traveled to 1 country (besides the U.S.) in North and South America?
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.
