Presidential pets
Exhibits cover White House animals across presidencies.
Exhibits present artifacts, photographs, and other items connected to pets of U.S. presidents. Visitors can learn about White House animals, from familiar dogs and cats to more unusual companions, and explore stories tied to their owners and their time in office. The collection includes a portrait of President Reagan's dog Lucky made from the dog's hair, the original cowbell worn by Pauline Wayne, and exhibits about pets such as Bo and Sunny, Buddy and Socks, and George Washington's horse Nelson. The museum was founded in 1999 to preserve information and objects related to presidential pets, with displays intended to help children learn about the presidency through its animals. It is in Annapolis, Maryland, and is currently closed for renovations.
