Seven presidents took the sea air at this resort in its heyday, and it built a small church so they would have somewhere to worship, the Church of the Presidents. Garfield was carried here by a specially laid spur of track after he was shot, in the hope the ocean would save him. It did not. He died in a cottage a few blocks from the water.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
