Our first family's home

About this book

"This volume tells the story of the home that has served as Ohio's executive residence since 1957, and of the nine governors and their families who have lived in the house. Once in a state of decline, the house has been lovingly restored and improved by its residents. The Ohio Heritage Garden provides a unique perspective on Ohio's natural beauty and demonstrates the importance of preserving native plant species. Looking toward the future, the Residence is also taking the lead in promoting environmental issues such as solar power and green energy. Our First Family's Home offers the first complete history of the residence and garden that represent Ohio to visiting dignitaries and the citizens of the state alike."--BOOK JACKET.
