About this audio guide
This guide to the President Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, D.C. centers on a grand piano and a painted Irish harp in the drawing room, both belonging not to the president but to his daughter Margaret Wilson, a trained soprano and pianist who toured and recorded professionally. It follows the piano's own journey from Carnegie Hall to a women's club to Wilson's ownership, and the disputed story behind the harp's origin. Listen for the small mark Margaret left on the instrument to claim it as her own.
