Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site

The only Indianan to become U.S. president to date, holding office for one term (1889–1893). See this hero of the Civil War's stunning 1875 home, constructed in the Italianate Victorian style. It has three stories and is crammed with personal items, artwork, political mementos, and antiques. There is a First Ladies display in the carriage house at the back. They host entertaining events all year long, many of which feature outstanding reenactments of historical individuals from Indiana. A naturalization ceremony, tours of Victorian murder mysteries, and the always entertaining croquet competition are all held there.
