Garfield Site sets winter hours

James A. Garfield National Historic Site will begin its winter hours of operation on Nov. 1.

The site’s winter hours will be Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The site’s buildings will be closed to the public the other days of the week though the grounds will be open daily, according to a news release.

Guided tours of the Garfield home will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations are only required for groups of six or more. All others are invited to come in during open hours and be placed on the next available tour.

The winter hours will be in effect through April 30.

“We’re excited to offer visitors three days per week during the winter season to visit James A. Garfield National Historic Site and tour the Garfield home,” said Site Manager Todd Arrington in the release. “Even on the days our buildings are closed, visitors are invited to walk the grounds, read outdoor exhibit panels, and enjoy our cell phone tours.”

The Garfield National Historic Site is located at 8095 Mentor Ave. in Mentor.
