Here is my ever-expanding database of presidential history sites, both those I have visited, and those I have not visited (yet).
The POTUS# field refers to the number traditionally assigned to each President based on the order of their presidency/presidencies (thank Grover Cleveland for making that more complicated that it needs to be). Cleveland is listed only under #22, not #24. Sites pertaining to multiple presidents are listed under #999, but a search on the President field will return all applicable results regardless of the POTUS# listed.
To for a list by president, visit this page.
Please select a column to search in.
