President Wilson's Bathing Holiday Visit Details
A fragmentary 1919 era report describes President Wilson traveling with companions to Hatperis Perry in West Virginia. The party, including Mary Smith of New Orleans, faced muddy roads and avoided revealing their plans to White House staff. They dined at an inn overlooking the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, where Wilson ordered an old fashioned southern dinner. The group, numbering about twenty guests, sought apple pies as dessert and received praise for a “poor man's pudding” while the innkeeper served the party. News of the visit circulated as towns along the route, including Rockville, awaited the presidential motorcade.
