The Harding Presidential Sites are thrilled that Harding Symposium weekend is here once again. As part of this exciting weekend of learning and community, the normal operations at the Harding Presidential Sites will be affected by the weekend’s events.

The Harding Presidential Sites will have a modified schedule on Friday, July 18th, in light of the opening reception for the annual Warren G. Harding Symposium. On this day, the sites will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please note that the last guided tour of the historic Harding Home will begin at 2:00 p.m.

On Saturday, July 19th, the public is invited to attend the annual Presidential Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Harding Memorial. The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. Each year, similar ceremonies are held at the gravesites of all deceased presidents to honor their service to the nation. A brigadier general will be assigned to represent the sitting president. Additionally, Mrs. Harding will be recognized for her contributions to the nation.
