Welcome to the official page for William Howard Taft National Historic Site, the birthplace
(249)

High atop one of Cincinnati's most prominent hilltops stands the two-story Greek Revival house where William Howard Taft was born and grew up. Hard work, a good education, and an interest in civic duty are attributes that made the Taft family outstanding leaders over the years. The environment that shaped Taft's character and philosophy is highlighted on a visit to the site.

We're celebrating our birthday.

On December 2, 1969, the William Howard Taft National Historic Site became a National Park Site. Last night's snowfall from Mother Nature served as a gift. The historic Taft House looks peaceful, dressed in winter white.
