Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Car

Summary:
Voted one of the 13 most romantic overnight stays in the region, the Teddy car is also perfect for families. In 1903, this rail car was used by Teddy Roosevelt for a Northern tour. It was decommissioned in 1963 and sold to the famous railroad artist Russ Porter to be used as an art studio. This car remains as one of the few original Pullman Palace Rail Cars complete with original furnishings.
