How would Benjamin Harrison have kept track of the election results without 24-hour news access? Visit the Harrison family home and be transported to the year 1888 as household staff and family members, recreated by exceptional actors, eagerly await the results of a close election in which Benjamin Harrison currently has the lead.

TAPS: A Musical Salute

We hope the bugle call inspires everyone who hears it to pause and reflect on the dedication and important service of our veterans, and how their efforts have helped preserve the American system of self-government we enjoy today. Please join us in this honoring of veterans past and present—and if you are a veteran, please know how grateful we are for your service!
