President George Bush and Laura Bush Celebrate Home at the Presidential Library This Christmas Season

The George W. Bush Presidential Library added much to SMU, University Park, Dallas, and Texas. This holiday season there's an exhibition of the 2001 White House Christmas that has been assembled.

History, Homes, and Architecture

I love history, homes, and architecture. Combining these passions with the Christmas exhibition is much fun. Replicas of the former Presidents' homes are displayed with the history and style of each home. One discovers the home presented to Ulysses S. Grant in 1865 cost $2,500. This was approximately the cost of some of the historic Munger Place homes when they were built in 1905, and is a thousand times less expensive than the much more modest home of President Bush in the twenty first century. The homes of these Presidents reflect the period, personality, and resources of the President. This Christmas exhibition is one more reason to visit the George W. Bush Library at SMU.
