Desk on which President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, on exhibit at the LBJ Presidential Library

From the birthplace of George Washington to the train depot where Jimmy Carter launched his presidential campaign, travel journalist Bill Clevlen digs into his newest guide, Presidential Road Trips, to help travelers plan an unforgettable American history lesson.  

He opens the doors to the homes where future presidents spent their formative years and the retreats where they relaxed and made consequential decisions. Along the way, see the library where James Madison drafted the U.S. Constitution; the living room with Dwight Eisenhower's favorite TV trays; the desk Lyndon Johnson used to sign the Voting Rights Act; and George W. Bush's childhood bedroom.

He also covers opportunities to walk through the Air Force One plane that carried John F. Kennedy's body back to Washington, D.C., after his assassination; to step inside the helicopter used when Richard Nixon left the White House after his resignation; and touch the handrail inside Abraham Lincoln's house in Springfield, Illinois. Clevlen maps out the ultimate presidential road trip including mansions, museums, grave sites, memorials, historic landmarks—and more.
