The city of Mentor, Ohio, plans to unveil a statue of former President James A. Garfield on July 3 at the Mentor Municipal Center. The statue will depict a larger-than-life depiction of Garfield, who has not publicly acknowledged his deep ties to the community since 1881. The unveiling will be followed by a free community picnic at the nearby Mentor Civic Amphitheater. The project is part of a broader effort to highlight the city's presidential history and create a new landmark outside the municipal center.
