Season 1, Episode 29: Warren Harding and Blooming Grove

Heading back to Ohio for the final time to visit tiny Blooming Grove and the birthplace of Warren Harding. While the new Warren Harding Presidential Library in Marion is doing much of the heavy-lifting for a historical re-examination for Warren Harding, his hometown of Blooming Grove could use more commemoration!
