LIBRARY
By NANCY KOZEMCHAK
The Back Mountain Memorial
Library is featuring a collection of
Presidents’ Homes in the display
case. These homes belong to
Deloris Slesiensky of Wyoming.
She received a mailer from
Danbury Mint advertising these
homes and began to purchase
them. Deloris has a bachelor’s
degree in political science and is
very interested in government.
She has eight homes, purchased
one every two month, to complete
the series.
Mount Vernon, George
Washington's plantation home for
more than 50 years is just 15
miles south of Washington, D.C.
and it remains a national trea-
. president.
Presidents' homes on display
sure. Monticello, (‘little moun-
tain’) in Italian, was the historic
home of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd
He wrote, “I am as
happy nowhere else and in no
other society asIam at Monticello.”
The “Old House” was the nick-
name used by most to identify the
Adams family dwelling in Quincy,
Mass. John Adams purchased
the home in 1787 while serving as
minister to England. He served as
the nation’s 2nd president (1797-
1801). Lincoln’s home in Spring-
field, Illinois was purchased by
Abraham Lincoln from an Episco-
palian minister.
As he left his home after win-
ning the election in 1860, he said
to the people, “To this place and
the kindness of these people, I
owe everything. I now leave, not
knowing when, or whether ever, I
may return.
In 1804, Andrew Jackson, the
7th president bought 420 acres
on the Cumberland River for
$3,400, which included a cluster
of log cabins and was nicknamed
“The Hermitage”. It became a
prosperous cotton plantation and
remained Jackson's home for the
rest of his life. Sagamore Hill,
Oyster Bay, New York was the
home of Teddy Roosevelt. Six
months after graduating from
Harvard, he acquired the land
and built a family home. He be-
came the 26th president upon
McKinleey’s assassination in Sep-
tember of 1901.
Hyde Park, New York was the
birthplace of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. The celebrated birth-
place remained F.D.R’s life-long
residence. Throughout his long
and precedent-setting presidency
(he served three terms and was
elected for a fourth), F.D.R. fre-
quently used the estate for his
executive headquarters.
Originally designated the
‘President's Palace’, America’s
White House bears the stamp of
every president. The building
began in 1792 and was called the
“White House” in 1901.
These Presidents’ homes will
be at the library until February
26.
