Bush Family Homes Are Preserved in Midland/Odessa
Published Sep 15, 2008
Two presidents named George slept here.
George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, lived and worked in the Midland/Odessa area. Homes that the two presidents occupied are still standing.
The restored George H.W. Bush family home currently sits on the grounds of the Presidential Museum in Odessa. The elder Bush and his family rented the simple structure for $75 a month from September 1948 until April 1949, and it was moved in 2004 to the museum on the campus of University of Texas of the Permian Basin.
The same museum also owns a house on Golf Course Road in Midland that was owned and occupied by George W. and Laura Bush from 1978 until 1985. Also in Midland is the George W. Bush Childhood Home on Ohio Avenue, where the two future presidents and future first lady Barbara Bush lived from 1951-55.
The homes are open to the public.
