The
President Benjamin Harrison Home is the former residence
of President Benjamin Harrison that is now a museum dedicated
to his life. The house is located at 1230 North Delaware
Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202. Benjamin Harrison was
the 23rd President of the United States from 1889 to 1893.
He was President 100 years after George Washington, which
made him the Centennial President. The Harrison Home houses
some 3,700 artifacts and 2,440 books. About 75% of the artifacts
in the home actually belonged to the Harrison's. In the
home the visitors see ten of the rooms with period furnishings
and Harrison items. The third floor, originally a ball room,
houses exhibits. A new exhibit opens every six months with
Harrison Home artifacts and borrowed artifacts. Textiles,
dresses, and other artifacts are displayed through out the
house. |
