Images of America Series Presidential Vacations in Florida - Book

Abe Lincoln did not split rails in Tampa, and George Washington’s cherry tree might not have been cut in Miami-Dade, but in Key West, the famous Harry S. Truman sign—”The Buck Stops Here”—still resides on the former president’s Florida White House desk.

A few hours north is the Kennedy bunker, complete with the presidential seal painted on the concrete floor just in case the Soviets started a nuclear war while Kennedy was vacationing in Palm Beach.

Florida may not have a presidential homestead, but it contains the Disney resort where an embattled Richard Nixon exclaimed “I am not a crook” and the fishing hole where Chester A. Arthur discovered that he would not live to see a second term.
