The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site (BHPS)--a not for profit, tax-exempt organization--is dedicated to maintaining and preserving the Harrison family home as a museum and memorial to the only President of the United States elected from the State of Indiana. Open to the public as an educational and historical service, the Site seeks to promote patriotism and citizenship through appropriate educational activities and by artfully exhibiting the Victorian time period as Harrison and his family might have experienced it.
