Abstract:

The former president Andrew Jackson's birthplace has been restored. The cottage was once home to Jackson's parents, employees of Peter Casso's Inn in Raleigh. The inn was torn down in 1937, but the cottage was saved and sent on a tour of the state before resting at Pullen Park in the 1950s. The home has been preserved at State College Campus in Raleigh during the 1960s and much of the original furniture remains.
