Dedicated in 1977, Gerald R Ford Birthplace & Garden stands as a memorial to the 38th president of the United States, born in Omaha in 1913. Though the three-story Victorian home where Ford was born was razed after a fire in the early 70s, the site features a partial replica of the home as well as a Ford's birth documents and a formal rose garden, dedicated to First Lady Betty Ford. This historic site is located on the edge of Hanscom Park, adjacent to the Gerald R. Ford Conservation Center in midtown.
Open daily dawn - dusk.
