Presidents and Olympics Through the Years
The long standing tradition of the President and First Lady to host the Olympic teams to the White House is still alive. This collection of photographs from the Presidential Libraries of the National Archives offers a special look at Olympic moments with former Presidents and First Ladies at the White House over the years.
