James Garfield Memorial


Trivia Time!  What number president  was Garfield?

Also at Lakeview Cemetery we stopped in at the Garfield Memorial. It is an impressive building with spiral steps to a balcony overlooking Lake Erie and Cleveland. Nicholas was surprised to see how close we were to the lake. The middle section hosts a statue of Garfield surrounded by beautiful Tiffany stained glass windows. The president and his wife are laid to rest in a crypt at the bottom in two coffins side by side. This cemetery was a successful and interesting stop for everyone.
