Presidents in the Cosmos


Three presidents of the United States have been members of the Cosmos Club: William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover. Two others, Theodore Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge, have had minor associations with the Club.



The clubhouse these Presidents visited was located in Dolley Madison's house on Lafayette Square.
