This dirt lane once led to the farm's northern fields and to the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad tracks about 3/4 mile away. During the 1880 presidential campaign, the railroad ran special trains that stopped at Garfield's farm, and from this special train stop thousands of supporters walked up the lane to hear speeches by Congressman James A. Garfield, the Republican candidate for President of the United States.
