[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 144121, member: 993"]Gila the Ferret (thanks to Aquitaine for that nickname!) reporting on field trip to the Garfield museum! I went to the museum in Mentor today. I learned this. It's a National Park, and therefore is run by the government, and they may not always be open to donations or such that, frankly, create more paperwork for them. The guide told me that in a whisper, and when I told him about the funeral-chair-issue, he suggested that you contact one or both brothers (Jay and Tom Garfield) who are still very active in the maintenance and oversight of the house and grounds as volunteers. They might be more interested, more helpful, more enthusiastic, MAYBE. The guy didn't know their addresses, but said if you addressed mail or fax to them care-of the museum, they'd probably get it. By Mail: James A. Garfield National Historic Site 8095 Mentor Avenue Mentor, Ohio 44060 By E-mail: [EMAIL]jaga_interpretation@nps.gov[/EMAIL] By Phone: Visitor Information (440) 255-8722 By Fax: (440) 205-3849 This concludes the ferret report. :hilarious:[/QUOTE]
