James A Garfield National Historic Site

The Carriage House, built in 1894, was repurposed by the National Park Service to become a modern visitor center. It was part of a $12.5 million restoration in the 1990's.
A front porch can serve many purposes. For some, it is a place to enjoy the breeze on a warm summer night. For others, a perch from which to keep eyes on what's happening in their neighborhood. In 1880, James Garfield used his front porch as a platform to greet thousands of well-wishers during his presidential campaign. Today, the porch serves as a gateway to the story of the Garfield family.
