In 1848, it was purchased by James Buchanan, who was President of the United States from 1857 to 1861. After his death in 1868, Wheatland was inherited by Buchanan's niece, Harriet Lane. Behind the main house is a gift shop that displays President Buchanan's actual carriage. I included the carriage and added President Buchanan standing on the porch greeting the arrival of his guests. See if you can find the only brick in the house that half-brick laid horizontal rather than vertical. After I tell you the reason, it'll all make sense.
