Waysides, White House History Quarterly #63

The new wayside exhibits in Lafayette Park pictured on our front cover guide those who stop to read them to find their way to a deeper understanding of the place where they stand and the White House they will see as they look up. This issue of White House History Quarterly, celebrates the act of wayfinding by bringing together diverse accounts from history’s scholars, witnesses, participants, and descendants. They have preserved memories, letters, objects, and fine art; given and granted interviews; created and appreciated historic collections; and visited archives and attics, all with the same objective: to share and preserve chapters in White House history, enabling us to discover the pages that might otherwise have been forgotten. Like the waysides in Lafayette Park, these articles succeed in enriching and expanding the whole of White House history.
