The George W. Bush Childhood Home

Bush Childhood Home 10th Anniversary

Nestled among the shade trees and quaint houses on Ohio Avenue at G Street stands a small piece of American history. Built in 1939, the house would later become home to George H.W. and Barbara Bush and their sons, George W., Jeb and Neil and their daughter Pauline. And as people know, both George Bushes would go on to become president of the United States. Now, the George W. Bush Childhood Home recalls the younger Bush’s early days spent in Midland, while also serving as a time capsule.
