James A. Garfield National Historic Site, located in Mentor, Ohio, preserves the property associated with the 20th President of the United States, James A. Garfield. The site includes the Garfield family's home, known as Lawnfield, where Garfield conducted the first successful front porch campaign for the presidency in 1880. The house is a fine example of a Queen Anne-style home and has been restored to reflect the period when the Garfield family lived there. Visitors can explore the home, the surrounding 7.8-acre estate, and the visitor center, which features exhibits on Garfield's life, career, and legacy.
