Grover Cleveland's Birthday!

Today, March 18, 2010, is the 173th anniversary of former President Stephen Grover Cleveland's birth and what better way to celebrate it than to go right where it all began ... his birthplace in Caldwell, New Jersey. It is a wonderful place to visit as it contains a nice assortment of items pertaining to the life of Grover Cleveland and life in general from the time in which he lived. These photos were taken at the home where Cleveland was born on November 30, 2008. I just cropped and uploaded them now!

Photo taken with the flash (horrible):

Photo taken without the flash (turned out quite nicely - great color):

You can visit his place of birth too. Here are a few websites that discuss and describe the home:
