1. James A. Garfieldnnn Marker

Inscription. William T. Moore’s statue of James A.
Garfield was dedicate in 1991.

It is placed here to remind us of the young boy who lived in a log cabin, had limited financial means, worked hard on the family farm, and was educated in local one room schools. These attributes serve as a foundation that carried James on adventures he could only dream of while wandering these woods in his early years.
