Harding’s Ohio home and build a 15,000-square-foot presidential center at the property by 2020. Plans for the $7.3 million Harding 2020 project include restoring the Press House and grounds and building a new parking lot on the property, located about 45 miles north of Columbus in Marion. The presidential center would serve as a museum and meeting space. The center expects to open on the 100th anniversary of Harding’s 1920 presidential election.
