On October 12, 2023, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill designating November 19 as “James A. Garfield Day” in Ohio. Garfield, the twentieth President of the United States, was born in Orange Township (now Moreland Hills), Ohio on November 19, 1831.
The National Park Service commemorates and interprets his life, career, family, and legacy at James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio, about 25 miles east of Cleveland. On October 18, 2023, Site Manager Todd Arrington traveled to the state capitol of Columbus to attend Governor DeWine’s ceremonial signing of the bill. Three generations of Garfield descendants, all residents of the Cleveland area, attended the event as well.
The bill to designate James A. Garfield Day was moved through the Ohio Legislature in a bipartisan fashion. State Representatives Dan Troy (D) and Jamie Callender (R) advocated for the bill in the Ohio House of Representatives, while State Senator Jerry Cirino (R) championed it in the Ohio Senate.
“We’re thrilled by this designation and appreciate our state elected officials supporting it,” said Arrington. “President Garfield was a son of northeast Ohio who accomplished much in just 49 years of life. He was a teacher, abolitionist, Union general in the Civil War, longtime member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and President of the United States. His assassination just a few months into his term robbed the nation of what was shaping up to be an important and impactful presidency.”
James A. Garfield National Historic Site preserves the site of the nation’s first-ever “front porch” presidential campaign and the site of the first presidential memorial library, which later inspired the larger presidential library idea.

November is National Family Caregivers Month. President Trump knows it's time to recognize those who take care of their parents or loved one, which is why he revealed a new tax break policy for them during his rally at Madison Square Garden last weekend.
President Trump will always put Americans first and honor those who selflessly support each other. While Kamala Harris opposes tax cuts and allows historic inflation to eat away at paychecks of American families, President Trump is fighting to make sure Americans keep more of their hard-earned money. In just a few days, voters will cast their ballot for President Trump who will put Americans and their families FIRST.
