Polk served as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and as governor of Tennessee. He was president from 1845 to 1849, and died of cholera just three months after leaving the presidency.
John Holtzapple, director of the Polk Home, led this tour.
The Polk Home was one of the stops on a 10-day bus tour from Asheville, North Carolina to Austin, Texas led by historian and author Richard Norton Smith.
