Each year, there is a parade and a celebration held at the tomb of President Harrison.  The Cincinnati SAR are active participants.  Other SAR and DAR Chapters also participate.  It is a great event!

It is also unique that William Henry Harrison served in his Presidential role for a very short time (one month!).

Unlucky for the country, unlucky for Ohio and certainly unlucky for President Harrison.

The following article was published by http://www.historyfacts.com sharing more details about President Harrison’s untimely death.
