§ 02 — OVERVIEW
A front porch can serve many purposes. For some, it is a place to enjoy the breeze on a warm summer night.
For others, a perch from which to keep eyes on what's happening in their neighborhood. In 1880, James Garfield used his front porch as a platform to greet thousands of well-wishers during his presidential campaign. Today, the porch serves as a gateway to the story of the Garfield family.
