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.

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.

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.

This presidential center is a must visit place to learn about our 19th President. The exhibits are informative and timely, and the grounds are beautiful and used by locals as a scenic park.

Had a great time here, learned a lot about our 19th president. It is an amazing place

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!

There is much to learn about this Ohio president, and this is the place to do it. There is a well curated museum and a fascinating house tour. What's more, the grounds are beautiful.

We were very impressed with our visit especially with not knowing anything about this. I was very impressed with all of the staff who knew how to accommodate with us as a deaf person! Thanks for accommodating for us as it was a fun visit with full access to everything.

Totally worth it. Amazing exhibits, and I got to tour the house, which I totally recommend. It was an educational, fascinating, and fun trip.

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

Good museum displaying the life of Rutherford and Lucy Hayes’ lives. Spiegel Grove and the grounds are beautiful and a great place to take in the nature.

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.

Thank you, Sharon for all of your help and expertise. Lovely library and great, friendly and informative staff.

This was one of the better Presidential homes I have been too. They gave you a very insightful tour of the house and family. The museum was really neat. I love learning about our countries history. Check this place out of you can.

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.

Kent was an EXCELLENT tour guide. This gentlemans passion for his job was immediately apparent. Hayes house was so well taken care of and so gorgeous. The museum was very interesting and had a great collection of items. Not to mention, the grounds are beautiful. Absolutely go and visit. Well worth the money.

Only on the grounds during my visit but you can visit the library and tour his home. There's a fee for the tour. Benches on the grounds along the paved trail, so you can walk or rest and meditate.

This was the destination for our 4th grade field trip. (100 kids, 11 chaperones, and 9 teachers) The loved the home and museum. The guides were knowledgeable and kind. The grounds are well maintained and we at our lunch outside. 100% will be back next year

Kent provides an exceptional tour of the Hayes Home. I am looking forward to coming back tomorrow to finish the tour, as, we left early for personal reasons and tomorrow finish the upstairs with Kent. And then the museum

This is a great place to visit for anyone in the area, or passing through. The sheer amount of preserved historical items is astonishing. The museum is very well put together. Our tour guide for the residence was very informative, friendly, and kept the tour entertaining. For guests with disabilities, they even restored the elevator so you can see the second floor of the house.

I came to charge my car at this museum and discovered a gem! We only visited the outdoor portion of the museum but there was plenty to see. We were most interested by the diversity of the trees and as you can see took some pics of the ones we've never seen before. Very cool place and we'll definitely be back in the future!

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!
