Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site - Visiting His Grave - City Landmarks [USA Holiday 2016 - Pt.13]

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, previously known as the Benjamin Harrison Home, is the former home of the 23rd president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison. It is in the Old Northside Historic District of Indianapolis, Indiana. Harrison's 16-room house was built from 1874 to 1875. It was from the front porch of the house that Harrison instituted his famous Front Porch Campaign in the 1888 United States presidential campaign, often speaking to crowds on the street. In 1896, Harrison renovated the house and added electricity. He died there in a second-story bedroom in 1901. Today it is owned by the Arthur Jordan Foundation and operated as a museum to the former president by the Benjamin Harrison Foundation.

Great video. Harrison's house was in impeccable shape. His widow lived until 1948 and i wonder if she lived there until then. By the lack of modern kitchen appliances, i would guess not. Great to see the grave, downtown Indianapolis and the squirrels! Thank you for posting this interesting video.
