We went with our CC homeschooling group to Indianapolis to see the Benjamin Harrison House.
Benjamin Harrison is the only United States president elected from the State of Indiana.
Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901)
Our nation’s 23rd President
Harrison was truly one of the first American presidents to succeed in foreign policy and matters beyond our shores. He increased the nation as a player in global trading and therefore dealt with the resulting tariff issues.
“As president of the United States, I was present at the first Pan-American Congress in Washington, D.C. I fully believe that with God’s help, our two countries shall continue to live side by side in peace and prosperity. Benjamin Harrison.”
First part of the tour we got to sign the United States Constitution.
We divided up into different states and Clairana was chosen to be the one to ring the bell and ask each state their vote.

Then we did a tour of the house - I may have caused this old man some anxiety...as I was trying to keep Bella occupied and was walking around the halls.
My mom came too but I must not have gotten a picture of her signing!
