Margaret Woodrow Wilson is President Wilson’s first of three daughters by his first marriage. She was born in Georgia, attended Goucher College in Baltimore, and trained in voice and piano at the Peabody Institute of Music.

The Panama–Pacific International Exposition is a world’s fair that will be held in San Francisco between February 20 and December 4 in 1915. It will celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal and will be held in conjunction with the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. It will give San Francisco a chance to show the world it has recovered from the devastating 1906 Earthquake. The fair will be constructed on a 635 acre site in San Francisco, along the northern shore near the entrance to the San Francisco Bay known as the Golden Gate.

On January 22, 1915 President Wilson daughter Margaret recorded the “Star Spangled Banner” as a benefit for the Red Cross in Europe. The record reads:

Wilson’s signature is also etched into the wax.
