点评:After visiting the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Nearby Mentor, I made the short drive down to Lakeview Cemetery to visit the James A. Garfield Memorial, which is the final resting place of President Garfield, his wife and the cremains of two of their children. The Garfield Memorial is one of the largest Presidential tomb. I think only the Tomb of President Ulysses S. Grant is Bigger. To say that the Garfield Memorial is impressive would be an understatement. The first thing you see when entering the memorial is the large marble statue of President Garfield that stand in the beautiful rotunda. The artwork in the rotunda is amazing. After spending some time in the rotunda, I made my way down the narrow spiral stairs to the memorial tomb. Resting her are the coffins containing the mortal remains of President Garfield and His wife Lucretia. One of the volunteers here informed visitors that these are the original coffins, and they have never been buried. President Garfield’s casket is covered with the American Flag. Visitors can walk completely around the circular tomb to see the caskets at every angle. My final stop was on the monument’s observation deck. Once again you access the observation deck by climbing a set of narrow spiral stairs from the center rotunda. Once on top of the memorial visitors are afforded a grand view of the Cleveland Skyline and Lake Erie. This is an amazing monument in every sense and the volunteers are very helpful and informative. I would encourage anyone in the Cleveland area to make time to visit this impressive memorial.
