In honor of President’s Day, this episode is on James Buchanan – our 15th President of the United States and up until recently the only president from Pennsylvania. 

The first part of the podcast will focus Buchanan’s Birthplace State Park. I speak with DCNR's Beth Garner to learn about what to do, what to see and how best to experience the park.

The second part of the podcast will focus solely on the man long-dubbed “the worst president in history.” We’ll hear from Pat Clarke, director of President James Buchanan's Wheatland. He tells us about his life as a legislator, diplomat, president and gentleman farmer.
