Mentor
Few places in Ohio have a history as closely tied to James A. Garfield’s presidential campaign as Mentor. Garfield made his home here at Lawnfield, the house from which he conducted his 1880 front-porch campaign; it is now preserved as the James A. Garfield National Historic Site. Mentor lies in Lake County near the southern shore of Lake Erie, within the Cleveland metropolitan area. The city developed from a nineteenth-century township and today combines established residential neighborhoods with commercial corridors. Its civic identity remains closely associated with Garfield’s years in Mentor, giving this northeastern Ohio community a direct connection to national political history.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
