"The Courtship & Marriage of James & Lucretia Garfield”

Presented by Shaker Historical Society at Shaker Historical Society

President and Mrs. James A. Garfield’s relationship was typical of others in the 19th Century. However, there were some glitches along the way that might surprise you. Through Lucretia’s own words, you’ll learn how she crossed paths with James Garfield of Orange Township and how their lengthy courtship progressed, along with tales about high- and low-points during their 22-year marriage. Children – and politics – are woven into the First Lady’s story.

Tickets are $5 per person. Shaker Historical Society/Ohio History Connection members are free.
