North Bend, Ohio: Benjamin Harrison's Birthplace

You probably know too much American history if you know what town can claim one President was born there and one President is buried there.

That town is North Bend, Ohio, located a bit west of Cincinnati. The Presidents are the Harrisons.

Here's where Benjamin Harrison was born, at least in terms of location. At the time it was a farm house that was established by William Henry Harrison; now it's a private residence.

It's easy to wonder what it's like to have tourists stop on your peaceful street to take photos of the historical marker by the sidewalk. When we did it, no one came out of the house with a gun ... or brownies.
