Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site
Visiting the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site offers a calm, informative window into late 19th‑century leadership and daily life. The house preserves thoughtful details, and the grounds invite a reflective stroll through history. A knowledgeable guide weaves context with approachable anecdotes, making complex topics feel accessible. I appreciated the careful curation of artifacts, the authentic rooms, and the opportunity to compare presidential moments with everyday life.
Even the location’s architecture reinforces the sense of history, blending historic elegance with informative, modern interpretation. The site supports thoughtful reflection without overwhelming detail, making it suitable for both casual visitors and serious students. I left with a greater sense of American history, an appreciation for leadership legacies, and a renewed respect for preservation efforts that keep stories alive for future generations.

Customer Reviews
Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on over 510 reviews on Google
The private tour was great! What’s even better is the fact that so many items in the house actually belonged to former president Harrison! It helps you to really step back in time! Our guide Gary was great with knowledge on everything! Would definitely recommend checking this out!
The tour is worth it for adults only. A chance to learn about a president that does not get mentioned very much. A beautiful home with plenty of items from his time in office. I did not know he dedicated the Washington monument.
Though originally from Ohio, Harrison moved to Indiana as an adult and lived here after his presidency. To see the house you join a tour, which is full of information, some well known and some less well known. At the end of the tour we learned his 2nd wife is the reason this house and much of his presidential memorabilia still exists.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Très belle visite ! La maison est superbe, pleine d’histoire, et les guides sont passionnants. Un lieu à voir absolument si vous passez par Indianapolis. Une belle immersion dans l’histoire américaine !
Always love learning about history! $16 per person entry but well worth it. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. We threw lots of questions his way and he was a wealth of information. So interesting!
Worth the price: the guide gave a thorough introduction of the housing as well as the family structure of President Benjamin Harrison. I loved the interesting stories about Harrison’s children and his early career the most!
We enjoyed our tour. It was very detailed and full of information so be ready to spend close to two hours on site. The tour schedule is spread out so you definitely need to plan your day around a tour time. Parking is primarily on the street and there are a lot of one way streets in the area so map it ahead of time. The house is filled with the families belongings so it is easy to imagine the home as it was years ago.
