This site is very authentic for history buffs. The guide was knowledgeable and easily answered our questions. The Harding Burial Site is not far away and worth the extra drive. Take the "boulevard" for a scenic drive between the home and the tomb.

When I was growing up, we were told that Harding, who worked himself up in life, was a failure as a president. The museum, and even more our tour guide, tell a different story. He was a success in that most of his campaign program was adopted into law during his 2½ years in the White House, his administration was racked with scandals which became apparent to him just before his death. Whether, had he lived, he would have covered up or cleaned house is one of the great unknowns in history. Beautiful house, and even more interesting is the story of his wife, Florence, who was disinherited by her father for getting married twice (Harding being the second) without his approval. If you are in the area, see it.

While preservationists will be aghast at how items are being conserved, the house is a time capsule almost frozen in time from President Harding's death. Since his widow died shortly thereafter and willed the house as a museum, it is amazingly intact to how it would have appeared when the Harding’s lived here.

Knowledgeable tour guide made it interesting. We loved sitting on the front porch while he explained how Harding campaigned for the office of the president from that very spot. It was worth the small fee.

This tour was very informative re: Pres. Harding and his family. Our tour guides were very, very knowledgeable. Pres. Harding is not a well known President and this would be a very good reason to tour his home and then take the short drive to his Memorial.

I didn't know much about my fellow Ohioan - President Warren Harding, but I do now! An excellent tour with the original furnishings in his home, and all the more interesting when lead by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable young guide! The fee was only $7 ($6 for seniors and AAA members) and definitely worth it.

A great place to learn more about the last of the eight presidents from the state of Ohio.most of the furnishings original to the home. Enthusiastic guides who share their wealth of historic knowledge and fun facts abor Warrn G. Harding.

My wife and I visited the Harding Home and Memorial on Saturday, August 2, 2014. We had a wonderful time in the little museum and watching the great movie! So much history to take in. Then we toured the home, led by our tour guide, Brett. he was very knowledgeable and could answer almost any question. He made the whole experience very interesting and informative. I would highly recommend a stop here on your travels.

We made an appointment for a tour of the Harding House before coming to Ohio. Our tour guide was wonderful. She spent lots of time with us and we learned so much. The home is fantastic and it was amazing to see so many authentic pieces from the Harding Family and the time period. This stop is a must for presidential history buffs! We especially enjoyed the video which was very professional and well researched.

This site was the latest stop in my travels around Ohio. I started my visit in the outbuilding which was built during the campaign. It has been converted into a small museum about Harding's background, political career, and time as president. The exhibits are brief but informative- I learned a great deal about Harding in just a few minutes. There is also a short orientation film. From there I proceeded to the front porch- the site of Harding's campaign in 1920. For the next forty-five minutes I was escorted on a top notch tour through the house, learning more about Harding's career and family. Something very exceptional about this house are the number of actual artifacts owned by Harding that are on display, even a comb with his hair still on it. I enjoyed this presidential house a ton and learned a lot during the visit. Highly recommended- also make sure to visit the Harding tomb about a mile and a half away.
