This is where he stood and greeted crowds of people that would come to hear him speak in 1888, when he was running for the presidency. He ran a unique campaign, a front porch campaign. However, he didnt have the same from porch you see here today. There was a stoop at the front door, which is still there. He stood in that area and spoke to the crowds of people that would come hear him speak. Harrison is probably one of the most under known of president s, 23rd president of the United States. He falls right in the middle of Grover Clevelands two terms. Oftentimes, people find him confused with his grandfather, William Henry harrison, who survived a month into his. Office Benjamin Harrison was only seven years old when his grandfather died. He served a full four years. And as president , he has a phenomenal legacy that is a little underst

There is an operator wearing a hard hat lifting taft out of the bathtub while he is holding a champagne glass and turkey leg. Stuff like that got me interested in president s in general. I have been passionate about it sin
