Home of the 23rd president, this three-story Italianate mansion features Victorian furnishings including many original Harrison pieces. Changing exhibits depict Harrison's life as Indiana's only elected president, his many accomplishments, family and the Victorian era. A recent Save America's Treasures grant allowed for museum's return to original decor. Features an elevator for access to all three floors, and tour includes reconstructed two-story carriage house "old red barn" as it stood behind the president's house in 1888. Groups can reserve an evening for a Civil War Dinner, an interactive experience with "General Benjamin Harrison" and other characters featuring wine, hors d'oeuvres and a full dinner.

Educational programs, special events, and family offerings including "Live from Delaware Street" are offered at this National Historic Landmark.
