If you enjoy the life of the well-to-do of the late 19th century this is for you. Hayes doesn't have the best of reputation, but he knew how to live! Very authentic.

Great displays on not just Hayes tenure as President but local history as well. Many displays both inside and out.

Rutherford B. Hayes had great digs. The house tour is nice (under renovation as I write this) and the grounds are beautiful. The library is a great place for local genealogical research.

I thoroughly the visit at the Presidential Center. The grounds are beautiful. The tour of the house was very interesting. We did not have time to go through the museum, so we cannot comment on it. For us the walk around the grounds and the tour of the house were worth the trip!
