Our first stop today was James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio, home of the 20th president:

1980s social media?

We toured the house:

The wreath from Garfield’s funeral after his assassination in 1881:

An original painting of Yosemite, probably from the Hudson River School, most likely Bierstadt, who was a contemporary of Garfield:

We continued east into Pennsylvania along the shore of Lake Erie:

Onward to New York.  The Rainbow is a consolation prize, I guess:

Our next stop was Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in Buffalo, the house where then-VP Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated in 1901 after the assassination of President McKinley:

Upon leaving the site, we discovered that one of our new leaf springs had become misaligned, so the top leaf spring fell past the lower leaves.  We limped to a home depot parking lot where I unloaded the spring and hammered the leaves back into position:

We overnighted at a nearby truck stop.  See the alternating yellow line on the trip map for today’s drive.
