Final Tribute

On Oct. 11, 1923, two months after President Warren G. Harding’s death, the Harding Memorial Association unveiled a plan to create a monument in his honor, more than a million contributors donated the $977,821 to build it. Located less than a mile and a half from Harding’s home in Marion, the white marble memorial is built to suggest a Greek temple with no roof, fulfilling the former president’s wish to be buried beneath the open sky. 966-870 Delaware Ave., Marion 43302, hardingpresidentialsites.org
