Harrison Tomb – Ohio Historical Society

Harrison’s tomb and monument on Mt. Nebo in North Bend contains the remains of William Henry Harrison, ninth president of the United States. An obelisk of Bedford limestone, with marble entranceway, rises sixty feet above the tomb. From the terrace, visitors have a spectacular view of the Ohio River Valley.

Harrison, who was born in Virginia in 1773, spent most of his adult life in Ohio and Indiana. He served as secretary to the territorial governor, senator, representative, and president, but he is most famous as a military hero. Harrison commanded the western army during the War of 1812.

The site is open year around during daylight hours.
