Historic Resource Study, James A. Garfield National Historic Site, Ohio

摘要

The Historic resource study focuses on the acquisition and development of the Dickey farm by James A. Garfield between 1876 and 1881. The study also treats the post-Garfield years between 1881-1980, when Congress authorized establishment of the historic site. Varying emphasis has been placed on the physical history of the occupation and the landscape of the property as well as on the architectural evolution of the main house and ancillary structures from the early 1830s to the present.
