Have you ever wanted to see the homes of the countless geniuses who have at one time lived in Princeton? Well now you can see them all in just one long walk or short bike trip. From Einstein, the smartest man in history, through Woodrow Wilson, to the great logician Kurt Gödel, you can see the outsides of what once were houses of the greatest people.
