Most people who visit Great Lakes Mall in Mentor, OH probably do not realize that they are so close to the home of a president. Even more probably don't care. I have just come back from visiting this site and must say that through some National Park Service funding, the place actually makes for a great experience. You can tour the house with a NPS tour guide and or browse through a mini-museum to see some of the major accomplishments of Garfields life including those that led to his death. While this site is not free, every Clevelander who hasn't visited in the past 10 years should revisit this piece of our history.
