Charlie Phelps Taft, Robot Son Of President Taft
The animatronic Charlie sits just inside the visitor center. He occasionally prompts visitors to press one of the buttons on a nearby control panel so he can regale you with tales of his relatives.
Very well done, although you can tell this is not one of the "primo" presidential birthplaces.
