    George Harrison, in 1963

    George's sister, Louise, lived at 113 McCann street in Benton from 1963 to 1968. George visited and slept in the home for a summer vacation in 1963 before the United States knew about the Beatles. He spent his time picnicking and performing with local bands. George left in September and returned to the United States the following February to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show.

    Harrison actually visited America prior to The Beatles inaugural tour of 1964. He had traveled alone in the Fall of 1963, and bought a 45 RPM of "Got My Mind Set On You", which would become his last #1 single on the US charts in 1987.
