President James Buchanan's Wheatland

Next, we visited President James Buchanan's Wheatland.  His home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania which is about 13 miles from the RV Park.

We arrived and found it to be closed for tours but the gates to the property were open, so we drove up like we owned the place.

We walked around the grounds freely.   This is the front of the home.  It is a huge home.

As we left the grounds, decided to check out the area for more homes.  We came up to this one and Manuel parked in the driveway so we could take pictures.....

Oops!  The owner and his dog were right at the gate!  He has an even more beautiful home than Buchanan did.
