Season 2, Episode 8-Martin Van Buren and Lindenwald
Lindenwald isn’t one of the Presidential Homes that people generally know off the top of their heads, but you will be impressed by the history (and look) of this home! Learn about Martin’s pre-Presidency resume, his wife, Hannah, and sons, his election and term, and, of course, his home!
Be sure to listen to Martin Van Buren’s “Visiting the Presidents” Episode from Season 1,“Martin Van Buren and Kinderhook” for his birthplace!
Also, listen to Martin Van Buren’s “Visiting the Presidents” Episode from Season 3, “Martin Van Buren’s Tomb” for his gravesite!
