The James A. Garfield
National Historic Site
Mentor, Ohio
 |
Named 'Lawnfield' by reporters,
the Ohio farm purchased by Garfield in 1876 evolved into a political
campaign headquarters. Following Garfield's assassination in 1881,
the home became the site of the nation's first Presidential Memorial
Library. |
 |
The Denver Service Center
received the 2000 Presidential DESIGN AWARD for the rehabilitation
of the historic Garfield site. The landscape plan restored the site
to the 1886-1899 farm. |
 |
Through extensive research
and documentation, the James A. Garfield National Historic Site is
one of the most accurately and completely furnished 19th Century Presidential
sites. |
