Cell Phone Tours At James A. Garfield National Historic Site

James A. Garfield National Historic Site encompasses eight acres of the original 160 acre farm. Visitors are welcome to come to the site and walk the loop path that we have and explore the grounds. While visiting please feel free to use the cell phone tour to learn more about specific areas such as the Carriage House, park boundaries, and Campaign Office among others. Our new cell phone tour on the grounds focuses on the farm and buildings during the presidential campaign in 1880.
There are three ways to get a map- in the black brochure box outside of the Visitor, inside at the front desk area or download before from the website.
