"In the great fulfillment we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do for the nation"
--Warren G. Harding
Address at the Republican Convention, June 7, 1916 Chicago
 Warren G. Harding launched himself into the White house in 1920 with his famous "front porch" campaign, which he conducted from his Victorian home in Marion, Ohio.
 The restored house was built in 1891 and contains almost all original furnishings owned by President Harding and his wife Florence. The library was renovated in 2005. Adjacent to the Harding Home is a press house used during the 1920 campaign which now serves as a museum dedicated to President and Mrs. Harding's lives.
