Mission Statement

The William Howard Taft National Historic Site, a unit of the National Park Service, comemmorates the life, achievements, and remarkable public service career of William Howard Taft, the only person in American history to be both President and Chief Justice of the United States. It serves as the nation's only memorial to America's 27th President and 10th Chief Justice.

Description

The William Howard Taft National Historic Site consists of the restored birthplace and boyhood home of William Howard Taft. The exterior and four interior rooms have been restored to their appearance when William Howard lived here as a child and young adult. The rest of the Taft House has been adapted for use as exhibit space detailing William Howard's life and work.
