COLOMBIA, SC (AP) – Those responsible for former President Woodrow Wilson’s home in South Carolina changed the name of the place.
The Post and Courier report that the Woodrow Wilson family home in Columbia will now be called The Museum of Reconstruction Era at the Woodrow Wilson home.
Officials say the new name more accurately reflects the museum and the era that shaped the 28th president’s segregationist views.
A member of the board of the organization that maintains the house told the Richland County Council in October that the change of title “does not erase the history of the place”.
Wilson lived on the property from 1871 to 1875 during Reconstruction.
