Today is President’s Day. It’s where we take a few minutes to remember the great leaders of our country.

Have you ever wondered how many presidents have been to Delaware?  You’d probably be surprised.  Most Delawareans are well aware of more recent presidential visits like President Obama, President Clinton, and President Bush (both of them). Most have seen the photos of JFK cutting the ribbon at the dedication of the I-95 turnpike, but were you aware that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, and Dwight Eisenhower also spent some time in our great state?

To learn more about Presidential visits to Delaware you can take a look at our Newspaper Clipping file.

If you would like to see photographs of presidential visits to Delaware visit our Facebook album.
