Virginia, long nicknamed the "Mother of Presidents," was the birthplace of eight of our 42 presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson. There is a whimsical painting hanging in the School of Education at the University of Virginia that shows all eight Old Dominion presidents having an imaginary encounter on the porch of George Washington's home, Mount Vernon. It's definitely worth seeing if you are on the campus in Charlottesville.

Virginia and Ohio were both birthplaces of 7 presidents. Ohio can claim 8 by adding Wm. Henry Harrison who lived in Ohio as an adult. However, Grant and Benjamin Harrison who were born in Ohio moved out of Ohio before they got into politics, so 8 may be an exaggeration.
