Plan Your Visit
A visit to the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site offers many ways to explore the life and legacy of America’s Hoosier President. Whether you join a guided tour, attend a special event, plan a field trip, or host a gathering of your own, the Presidential Site welcomes visitors year-round to experience history in the heart of downtown Indianapolis.
Built in 1875, this National Historic Landmark was the residence of President Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States. Today, the beautifully preserved 10,000-square-foot Italianate Victorian home is a museum filled with original furnishings, family artifacts, and changing special exhibits that explore American history, leadership, and civic life.
