Selling the Candidates:
Presidential Campaign Music and Memorabilia

From George Washington to George W. Bush, presidential candidates have captured the American voter’s attention with music and memorabilia. In the spirt of the 2008 presidential election, campaign songs from the Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music, and buttons, tie tacks, and other souvenirs from some of America's most memorable elections will be displayed on the M-Level of Homewood’s Milton S. Eisenhower Library.





The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music documents American history and the popular culture of American society beginning with homage to George Washington in the 18th century and continuing to music familiar to us in the late 20th century.  The pieces highlight the periods, persons, and events that have formed, inspired, and described the American past.
