At the top of many American history buffs' list of places to visit are the homes and libraries of former presidents.

The most visited are George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Virginia. In Central Pennsylvania are James Buchanan’s Wheatland in Lancaster and Dwight Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg.
