Season 2, Episode 9-William Henry Harrison and Grouseland
We are heading to the Midwest for William Henry Harrison, 9th President of the United States, and Grouseland, his home in Vincennes, Indiana. The home is the only surviving home (we will talk about the famous North Bend, Ohio, estate that birthed his famous grandson), and we will cover his military and political career, his wife, Anna, and many children!
