About William Henry Harrison Tomb State Memorial

William Henry Harrison, the ninth U.S. president, died on April 4, 1841, a month after his inauguration, and was buried here on July 7 that year at the crest of Mount Nebo on his family's North Bend estate. His wife Anna and his son John Scott Harrison, father of President Benjamin Harrison, lie here too. Ohio took over care of the 6-acre site in 1919, and kiosks added in 2007 explain Harrison's role in settling the Ohio River Valley. It is on Brower Road, half a mile west of U.S. 50.
