The Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation was officially incorporated in 1938,[9] and the house was restored to its 1850s look over the next 80 years, which included removing bathrooms, changing light fixtures, and stripping paint.

The house was opened to the public in 1941, being formally dedicated as a museum by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
