How Would You Rank James Garfield As President?Please Fill Out Guest Book With Your Answer.

Presidents Garfield's grave is one of the bigger ones that I have seen and one that you can go to the top and see the Cleveland skyline. It is one AMAZING VIEW from the top. You can see the Cleveland Indians ballpark and Lake Erie. The steps are very small and steep. When you enter the building they have the front page from when he was shot and when he died. After you see the newspapers and other things in the different cases, you will go straight and they have a statue of President Garfield standing. Off the left is stairs to the Crypt and to the right is a area to buy postcards, books and other things. When you go down the stairs to the Crypt they have a case with different things from his funeral and other things. After coming down the stairs you can go straight to use the restrooms they offer or you can go to the left, and see the graves. When you first enter the Crypt, it is a creepy feeling see the coffins above ground. President Garfield coffin is cover with a United States Flag. Right behind President and Mrs. Garfield, are the urns of their only daughter and son-in-law. Over all I would rank President Garfield's grave as a must see because of the great view of Cleveland and see the coffins of the President and Mrs. Garfield. Also like President McKinley's grave there are a lot of steps but not as many.
