Complete information about visiting James A. Garfield National Historic Site is now on National Park Planner!
James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio, preserves the home and the remaining eight acres of a farm purchased by James and his wife Lucretia in 1876. The farm is most remembered for being the site where Garfield ran his Front Porch campaign for president of the United States from July through October, 1880.
Visitors to James A. Garfield National Historic Site can learn about the 20th President of the United States by watching a short film and browsing through the exhibits at the museum inside the Visitor Center. After learning something about the man, they can take a tour of his home. A guided tour is the only way to enter the house, and tours are given multiple times each day that the park is open. There are also a few farm buildings from the late 1800s still remaining, and visitors can see them all along a paved walking path through the property.
