Benjamin Harrison home

For Indiana history, we visited President Benjamin Harrison's home.  It was hard to take good pictures, because we were not allowed to use a flash and it was very dark in the house. 


This house, Benjamin and his wife lived in before he became President, and then returned after the presidency, where he later died.  His first wife died in the White House and he remarried.  We also saw some of William Henry Harrison's things, since he was Benjamin's grandfather.



Benjamin Harrison's wife, Caroline, was an artist.  She was the only first lady to design the First Family's china.
