Harding Home & Museum

"This is a hidden gem." "I feel like the Hardings are just around the corner,"Real comments from real visitors. What impresses them? Our expert tour guides, for one, who weave context for you as you visit a home which seemingly has frozen in time. Our guides don't work from a script -- they let you meet the Hardings by pulling from a vast body of knowledge that we work hard to constantly build. Our stellar collection of original objects, for another. The Harding Collections encompass more than 5,000 original items, including 300 from the White House. Because most of what you'll see in the Home is original, you'll get the feeling that the Hardings have just stepped into the next room.This summer, we're featuring many newly displayed objects which President and Mrs. Harding used in the private quarters of the White House. Inspect a pristine portable movie projector that they used to view Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin movies. Marvel at an intricately carved meerschaum pipe that President Harding used in his private office, and examine Mrs. Harding's collection of carved elephant figurines that filled a curio cabinet in the family quarters.It's all here waiting for you to explore!
