    I am a self-proclaimed presidential history nerd visiting from Texas. I've read a biography on…read moreevery president in order through Eisenhower, and my bucket list includes visiting where each was born and their final resting places. Of course, I also make it a point to visit presidential libraries, national historic sites, etc. I've visited dozens of locations across multiple states. THIS. PLACE. IS. INCREDIBLE. I broke my visit up into two days. Did the home tour one afternoon and the museum the next morning. Honestly, I recommend doing it that way; there is just too much otherwise. It was jaw-dropping to hear about the history of the home, Hayes' descendants who lived there so long, and the son who pushed for it to become a living monument to Hayes' life. With 95% of the home original to when Hayes lived there.... I'm not sure I've ever been to a location that can say that. From Lucy's sewing machine used to sew civil war uniforms...to beds made by prisoners in the Oriental Room...to the bed in which Rutherford and Lucy died ...the house tour is just breathtaking. Shout out to my tour guide, Bill Y., for being such a cool guy! The museum took me all of two hours to get through, and I skipped the temporary exhibits. Two solid hours if you read 75-85%. LOTS of information. But the artifacts will give you goosebumps: Hayes' Harvard diploma 1845 Hayes' Dress sword and scabbard from the war Hayes' .32 revolver 1864/65 Lucy's wedding dress The chair Hayes sat in during the inauguration. Bible on which he sworn his oath A ring containing George Washington's hair And that's just a few... The information on the contested election was perfectly clear and well executed. This place is no doubt one of the top five places I've ever been in my presidential history travels...up there with Monticello. I can't say enough...totally worth your time. Every time I visit a presidential history site... I am overwhelmed with gratitude for people like staff and volunteers at these museums. I'm grateful to all who had the foresight to preserve and maintain our history. Only negative: I thought the gift shop, although appearing full, lacked options.

    I brought my son here while on a roadtrip across the U.S. I love historical sites and presidential…read morehistory so this was an easy choice for a stop, especially since it is a fairly quick detour off of Interstate 80. $20 for adults gives you access to the museum and a one hour house tour. Kids aged 6 - 12 are $5. They give discounts for military, AAA members and senior citizens, but sadly none for educators (seems this place would be perfect for U.S. history teachers). The grounds are beautiful, the history is interesting, the museum is jam packed with information (though a bit haphazardly arranged, along with some overzealous motion detection security on some of the larger items). Our tour guide for Rutherford's house (Dick) was lovely and very knowledgeable. Overall worth the money and an interesting stop on our whirlwind tour of America and all of its idiosyncratic history.

Coining here I was in and out in no time at all I'm not sure if it's always like that but on this given day it was definitely super fast as when compared to courts in other states I've lives in! The staff and the cops were both super friendly and helped me get to where I needed to go and got my paperwork done quickly so that was definitely awesome! They do have a rule of no cell phones inside so make sure you leave it in your car or another safe place! Also as the current strange era we are living in they are requiring you to wear a mask when you enter to help keep others safe! Overall it's a court house that you can tell has been here for many years and I must say it definitely was a positive experience coming here!

People are treat with respect and without judgement. They really seem to try and go above and beyond to help you achieve whatever you may seeking to do. Very kind people if i do say so myself.

    We enjoyed a small picnic and walk around the pond here with our dog. Only half of the pathway is…read morepaved, and the more natural sections were filled with wild grass and grasshoppers. There was also some art and sculptures to view. We came on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon and were lots of other people there so it was really disappointing that they had shut down the bathrooms. We passed by three elderly women who wanted to do the walk around the pond, but we're discussing the fact that they needed to use the restroom so they were leaving to go to the McDonald's up the street. There was no reason why that bathroom shouldn't have been open . The lighthouse and all the information provided were very neat. It seems like the best times to visit are weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day as that's when the offices are open and you can buy tickets to tour the light house. There was also a small lending library here and I think my favorite thing was actually the Statue of the dog with the lighthouse keeper.

We spent a second night at the Quality it, grabbed some fresh coffee at Mickey D's before heading out. Port Clinton Lighthouse says on the banks of Lake Erie in a small park with benches and a parking lot. A paved trail and dogwalking seems to be the favorite activity.
