Beautiful monument and landscaping. Very interesting place to visit, but were there early winter and the inside was closed for winter. We will visit on our return visit in the spring.

Beautiful monument dedicated to President James A. Garfield located in beautiful Lakeview Cemetery. Great view of downtown from the balcony. Make sure you check their schedule because they close the monument during the winter months. Make sure you check out Wade Chapel while at the cemetery.

This is a significant place because of the tribute to James Garfield and for the interesting art and architecture on display. The highlight, however, for me is going to the top and viewing Lake Erie and the City of Cleveland. It is gorgeous in any season. As part of a visit to Lakeview Cemetery, this is a can't miss in Cleveland.

This is a bit of a drive from downtown but worth it. The Monument is very impressive with a beautiful golden dome and a statue of the president. The crypt below is rather grim, but the monument is quite stunning. And the entire cemetery is worth the visit.

This museum has so much to offer. It is very interesting and the knowledge is just unbelievable,It is a great family outing in season. So much nostalgia. Very Educational. We sure did enjoy it. It is very reasonably priced at $5. Affordable and ample parking.

Very beautiful monument. It was closed on our first stop, so we made a point to stop by the next day and I'm glad we did. Well worth it!

Came here on a Lolley the Trolley tour of Lakeview. The stained glass windows inside were beautiful. Well worth stopping in. The ceiling was also spectacular!

If you're visiting Cleveland and have the time the Lakeview Cemetery is worth a visit and while there you must see the Garfield memorial. It is a grand memorial. The main level is the memorial; upper level is the view, and the lower level is the mosque. We didn't enjoy the view because there were so many bugs/Mosquitos. The docent was busy with other patrons while we there, but I probably would have rated this higher if he could have taken the time to tell us about the memorial and the history. He was very nice, just not very informative.

This monument was quite impressive. The view from the top was very nice. It was nice that they had a "guide" there that gave you the history of the monument and the president (we are Canadian so we don't know a lot about all fo the presidents.)

It's not a fantastic work, but it is interesting if you happen to be in the area and perhaps a history buff. Go to see Wade Chapel which is phenomenal and in the same cemetery less than 1/4 mile away.

It is a very nice memorial to James Garfield, located in Lakeview Cemetery near Little Italy. Inside are the caskets of Garfield and his wife in an appropriately solemn tomb. There is a staircase that goes up to a large outdoor veranda with a fabulous view of downtown Cleveland in the distance. Nearby is Wade Chapel, worth a visit on its own, and just east of the memorial across the drive are the burial plots of the Rockefeller clan.

If you are looking for quite in the midst of noise, beauty any season or a great view of the skyline, this is the place to be. The Monument is beautiful,and a tribute to not only someone who most definitely would have proved himself a great president, but also a tribute to the citizens of the Great Sate of Ohio who's funds built the Monument. There is a volunteer on staff that is able to answer any questions you might have. A real gem.

Just amazing to view all the details.. Also learned he is the ONLY American president whose casket is displayed above ground.
