About

The nation’s FIRST presidential library! Also includes our 19th president’s mansion, museum, wooded estate, burial site and trails. All in one location!

Story

We have President Rutherford B. Hayes' 31-room mansion, the presidential library with his diaries and papers, a museum and the president's tomb. This is all located at Spiegel Grove, the president's 25-acre estate in Fremont Ohio. The estate includes a mile of paved walking trails.

New museum exhibit galleries were installed in 2016. We also have rotating exhibits throughout the year. These include the Hayes Train Special, our annual holiday model train exhibit.

The home was restored in 2012 to how it appeared when President Hayes, First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes and their family lived there.

Come curious and leave amazed!

Admission is charged per building, with discounts available for a Combo Ticket. Per building admission is $7.50/adult, $6.50/seniors age 60+, $3.00/children ages 6-12; free/children ages 0-5.

Reviews
I have been here several times over the years and always find something that I hadn't noticed before. The tour of the house is very nice with many original furnishings. The Presidential Library and Museum are great and you can check ancestory records while you are there also. During the year there are numerous events of all differnt kind but one of my favorites has always been the Sleigh Rides in the winter. To see what will be available when you will be there just check on their website.

A great place to visit and learn about president Hayes and his family. Also a great research facility for Genealogists. They offer many great classes for anyone interested in genealogy and have a helpful staff.

Very neat! Seeing both the home and the museum is the way to go. The whole memorial is impressive!

This is a lovely place to walk. The museum is newly renovated and the home has been restored to what it would have been like when President Hayes lived there.

Very cool place to stop & see. The tour of the mansion is definitely worth the admission fee. You will see so many original items from the 1800's presidency and beyond.. If you are headed to Niagra Falls from Chicagoland, this is a wonderful place to stop on the way.
