Google review from John B:
"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."
Google review from Judy Gawelek:
"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."
Google review from Shan McFe:
"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!"
Google review from Jeanne Peters:
"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."

TripAdvisor review from Dream546263:
"This is an outstanding place to visit, I highly recommend it. The home itself is 21,000 square feet and is like a time capsule, the grounds are phenomenal and the museum itself has fascinating stories of the many items in there. But a special shoutout to Josh Dubbert, who gave us a guided tour of the Hayes home. It's so much fun when you meet someone who clearly loves what he does, and who has an incredible energy that comes through in his storytelling, it puts you right there. I could listen to him all day long, it's like listening to a Marvel fan talk about their superhero. I mean, he brings that kind of passion, it is infectious. It is a bargain and a great 1.5 hours well-spent. You will walk away from it and say, 'Wow, Rutherford B. Hayes. Lucy Hayes. Fanny Hayes. Who knew?' Really interesting."
TripAdvisor review from Cindy S:
"Did not know much about Rutherford before we visited, but sure do now. Tour of home interesting - amazed at how many of his actual furnishings are still on display. Museum does a nice job of shaping his political career and paths to walk outside are nice as well. If you enjoy history and politics, a great way to spend a few hours. Staff friendly and helpful."

“I am currently in the U.S. Navy and am stationed overseas. My father ... grew up in Fremont, Ohio, where his brother ... currently lives. My husband and I toured the museum right before we left for overseas, and I am receiving the newsletter. I am very impressed with this organization and wanted to contribute to such a worthwhile cause.”

“Last weekend, my wife and I, along with my daughter and her husband, made it up to the Rutherford B. Hayes Center on Saturday. It had been many years since we had been there. What a pleasant and enjoyable day we had touring the museum and the home as well as having a horse-drawn carriage ride. We received and read so much good information there is no way I can remember it all. Even saw an Arlington High School classmate who had his whole family there. We even got on the same house tour as they were on.
We had a day to remember and we wanted to congratulate you on the fine work you and your staff are doing. By the way, your staff was very accommodating.”
