Tucked away in the Kalorama neighborhood is a house that feels like a preserved moment in time. The Woodrow Wilson House became the home of Woodrow and Edith Wilson after they left the White House in 1921. Since 1963, it's been open to the public as a time capsule from 1924.
It's a quiet contrast to the nearby embassies and ambassadorial residences that define this part of Northwest D.C.
