President Coolidge used the now gone Central School building on Belknap across from Cathedral as the summer White House in 1928.  He was a big fan of fishing on the Brule River.  Not Duluth, but he certainly traveled to Duluth while in Superior.

Kennedy in 1963
Clinton in 1994
Bush 43 in 2004

Those are the only ones I am aware of - but there may be others...

I have a great photo of Kennedy in front of the Hotel Duluth with the NorShor in the background.

Would love to see that photo of JFK. Could you scan and share? I now live in Boston, but I know an old lady who knew Kennedy - dated his roommate when he was in the Navy.

I remember not going to see Carter when he was here. Many kids/teachers were talking about it at old St. Anthony's where I must have been in kindergarten. I remember being vaguely disappointed but I was very young and my mom didn't want to deal with the crowds. She made up for it by letting me see Star Wars as many times as I wanted.  Good trade.

In 1963, I remember standing near a tiny barbershop along Miller Trunk Highway with my mom and aunt waiting for JFK to drive by from the airport. As his car passed, he looked right at us, smiled and waved, and my mom and aunt spent the rest of the afternoon arguing which of them he was smiling and waving at.

During the Frost/Nixon run at the Playground recently, the Trib ran a picture of Nixon in Superior, but I can't remember what year it was from.

Relatives say that Kennedy stopped on Central Entrance to shake hands with people from Harborview on his way into town.

The King was here October 76 and April 77.

Ulysses S. Grant visited Duluth on Sept. 17, 1883, after he was no longer president. According to the News Tribune of the next day, he and his party toured Duluth by carriage, took a tour of the harbor on the tug Eliza Williams, and visited Superior.
