Lawnfield in Mentor, Ohio, was James Garfield's home, where he ran the first 'front porch campaign' for president in 1880; after his assassination, his widow built the nation's first presidential library in the house to hold his papers.

Tour the grand home and see the library his widow built; young kids can earn a Junior Ranger badge. For a challenge, take the full tour and explore the campaign office and carriage house exhibits on a brilliant presidency cut short.
