Reviews
We have visited all of the US Presidential Libraries and the museum portion was good. However, the Hayes house was very good. Our docent, Sarah, was super! She had a great personality and really knew the details about the house and the people who had lived in it. A few visitors asked questions that Sarah didn't know the answer but she had a tablet that she accessed quickly and supplied the answer. The grounds that surrounds the museum and house are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to walk around them. We spent about an hour and a half to visit the museum, the house tour was about an hour, and to walk around the grounds took about 45 minutes. In our opinion, it's a worth while visit.
We did not have time to tour the mansion or library but stopped to walk the grounds and see the grave site. Amazing grounds to walk around searching for squirrel doors. Very relaxing and the home from the outside is amazing. You can walk the grounds and see the graves with no admission necessary.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
We were fortunate enough to visit on a cool rainy day when there were very few visitors. My wife and I were the only ones in our group for the house tour. Our guide was very well informed on the history of the house and the Hayes family. We were able to see and do things that are not normally part of the tour. The view from the fourth floor was amazing. Incredible experience!
Today has been busy, but in a good way I brought Remi along to my doctor's appointment a few towns away. I had to stop by Bailiwicks Coffee Company in Tiffin and get a hot Irish Cream latte If you're in town, I recommend stopping by for an excellent coffee Make sure you walk around inside and check out the beautiful artwork I saw the Marilyn Monroe drawing and was instantly in love. On our way back to Fremont, I stopped by Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums so Remi could walk around and explore all the smells. Even though it's March, flowers are budding and some trees as well I think the rose garden will be beautiful this year I've loved coming here since I was a girl. I was filled with all the memories while walking through the gardens. I always feel better after walking through the woods on the trails. #smalltown #Fremont #Ohio #rutherfordhayes #history #rosegarden #coffee #dog #Remi #thisishome #proudofmyhometown #beauty #amandascott #sharingiscaring #advocate #TheMoreYouKnow #viewsfordays
Had a great time here, learned a lot about our 19th president. It is an amazing placeVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
We had a wonderful time touring the president's home, museum and grounds. There was so much to learn about this president, and we left feeling like we expanded our knowledge of his life and time. A very special bonus was that we visited on July 4 and were treated to a fantastic symphony on the grounds of the estate. Simply the best Independence Day I have ever witnessed!
Went to the Rutherford B Hayes museum and property and was awestruck. It was totally worth the visit. The mansions contents are priceless and takes you back in a time when the United States was young and vibrant. The property is beautiful. As I was guided through a tour there it was almost as if I could feel an unexplainable aura in the very air as I mentally absorbed the sights and sounds regarding this "American" family. Learned much concerning the Hayes couple and their whole lineage. Their contributions towards the success of the United States as a country is truly historic and of a legendary quality. There is much too experience here. If you have the opportunity pay the place a visit. If you enjoy United States history my guess is you will be genuinely moved.
Visited this place over 20+ years ago. Stopped today coming back from the lake to show my friend how cool it is. Arrived late, so didn't have time for a tour. But just the outside of the Library and Residence are marvel's to look at. There are nicely paved paths which lead to the gravesite, of which there are many marked trees and some interesting ones. Spiegal Grove is awesome location and property.
Incredible historical estate to explore and tour. $20 per adult $2 off for AAA members and you get access to a guided tour of the home, self guided tour of the museum, and able to walk the grounds. You're able to walk the grounds, for free, if uninterested in museum or home. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Those who were operating the desk at the museum and giving the tours, all were very well educated on Hayes, and truly held a passion in sharing the history of our 19th President. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, 25 acres, and a mile of paved path that takes you around the outskirts of the property and back to the Presidential Tomb where Hayes, his wife, and there eldest son who was the last to live within the home and is credited for the structure of the museum are all buried. The museum houses three floors of Incredible artifacts from the families personal items, as well as random historical items collected over the years by their son, who, was a major history buff and enjoyed collecting. The home is a 31 room mansion that you'll tour by guide for about an hour getting some great insight regarding the home and family history. I spent about 4 hours to see everything. I've toured some major historical estates before - George Washington's, Robert Lee's, Eisenhower's and others. And, I can honestly say, that this estate is comparable to any of them. A truly magnificent historical gem that any one with any interest in presidential history, or history in general, most definitely should visit. A great tribute to our Nation's 19th President and well worth the visit.
Totally worth it. Amazing exhibits, and I got to tour the house, which I totally recommend. It was an educational, fascinating, and fun trip.Visited onPublic holiday
