(KEMPTON) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, along with his wife Michelle and their two daughters, visited his ancestral home in Kempton on Saturday.
The house was built on property owned by Obama's great-great-great-great-grandparents on his mother's side, Jacob and Catherine Dunham. The house is now owned by Shawn Clements who restored it to look as it did in the 1880's.
If Obama would win the Democratic nomination and the general election, he would be the second U.S. President to visit the house. Clements says Grover Cleveland once stayed there.
William Riley Dunham, who built the house, served in the Indiana legislature as a Democrat.
