The house is wheelchair accessible. Tour times vary each day: call the morning of your visit for a specific schedule. The first tour begins before 10:20 a.m and the last tour during the 3 p.m. hour. You will be put on the first available tour upon your arrival. Reservations are required for groups of 6 or more people.
In the Visitor Center
An 18-minute film on President Garfield's life is shown on a loop in the Auditorium. Visitors may self-guide through the interpretive exhibits. The site bookstore, passport stamps, Junior Ranger books, B.A.R.K Ranger books, and several brochures are available here.
On the Grounds
No time for a house tour? Walk the loop path while listening to our cell phone tours. Stops 1-10 are a general grounds tour and 11-20 detail the first front porch presidential campaign conducted here in 1880.
Do you have a dog traveling with you? Although pets are not permitted inside the buildings, they can become a B.A.R.K Ranger while visiting the grounds! Materials can be accessed near the waste station outside the Visitor Center, or call the Visitor Center at 440-255-8722 and a ranger will bring a card out to you. Leashed dogs are permitted on the grounds; only service animals are allowed inside the buildings.
