These places all have unique and often fascinating stories to tell. Discover their owners back to the first settlers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a great book for you history and architectural buffs, filled with stuff I certainly didn't know (and you probably won't either). For example, some remains of the logs of Lincoln's cabin have supposedly been preserved to reconstruct it. From one-room cottages to hospitals and mansions, and from rural plains to downtown New York City, there seems to be no common denominator when it comes to where presidents are birthed." - July 2013 issue of Mensa Bulletin magazine.

"Louis Picone spent the last seven years visiting the birthplaces of every U.S. President. Now he has written a book about his passion. "Where the Presidents Were Born: The History and Preservation of the Presidential Birthplaces," describes in extensive detail everything anyone might want to know about presidential birthplaces." - New York Daily News, 11/28/2012
