Ohio to the White House
Photographs by Matthew Albritton
Seven American presidents were born in Ohio—Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding. Three of them were born in or near Cincinnati. This exhibition features never-before-seen photographs of Ohio’s presidential birthplaces and boyhood homes, some of which are intact and others of which only traces remain. From log cabins to stately mansions, these historic sites reflect a cross-section of 19th-century life in Ohio.
Matthew Albritton is assistant professor of art, photography, at Northern Kentucky University. His work includes series inspired by his travels in Scotland, Japan, Cuba, Mexico, and Hawaii and has been featured nationally in exhibitions and publications. Collaborating on a forthcoming book with Pennsylvania-based author Andrew Leiter, Albritton is photographing all 44 presidential birthplaces around the country.
