  • One of only two presidents whose dad was also president

  • One of only two presidents with a foreign-born wife

  • I believe the only president married abroad (please let me know if I’m wrong about that!)

  • Adored the metric system

  • Loved vigorous exercise

  • Enjoyed skinny dipping…

  • Until he realized swimming was a harder workout when wearing wet clothes

  • Andrew Jackson blamed him for his beloved wife’s death

John Quincy Adams' priorities: science, canals, science
Heather Rogers, presidential doodler

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
