There is a series of non-stop videos on the Great Lakes, maps, history, gift shop, etc. Everything is labeled and explained. The second part is the ship - Colonel James M. Schoonmaker. Both are self-guided tours. The indoor museum will take you about an hour if you read everything and see some of the videos. The ship, however, will take you at least an hour plus depending on how depth you want to know about the ship. The ship has two levels; bottom level is where the engines and storage are located. The top level is the deck that leads you to their living quarters. The living quarters is two stories with no elevators. The bottom level is accessible only by a steep, narrow iron ladder.

I wish they gave a little more information and explanations on some of the placards but over all its an alright way to spend an hour.

We also enjoyed the sculpture works outside the museum. I mean, who the hell doesn't want to get on a huge tire swing, play musical instruments or lay on a hammock made of glass?! Just blown away amazed with this place! Thank you!!!

The thing is this place is so small it doesn't take many people for it to be packed but still. On this day dude was doing pretty well at ten bucks a head. This is a fun little museum if you're into the macabre but the operative word here really is little. The crime scene photo room is underwhelming but the embalmed animal cadavers in little tubes of fluid really packed a punch. There is a note from PETA or something similar saying they were all ethically sourced. The stand up selfie coffin is a lot of fun. I had my sister take dead and alive pictures of myself in it. And the chair that some local woman was found dead in that was supposed to have strange energy in it really did feel a bit uncanny when I sat in it, though I'm not sure how much of that might be paranormal placebo effect. I never thought the ouija board display would be my favorite part of this museum or that they even would have multiple ouija boards, let alone like a hundred. I didn't know they had such an enduring popularity or so many makes and models existed. This was also a little window into the ravages of the Great Depression as just about every decade from several ago to the 1910s was well represented except for the 30s. Some of the ouija boards even reeked of old school racism, with depictions of wild witch doctor Africans or sinister swami Middle Easterners. History ain't always pretty. Evil clowns, a Michael Myers and a Freddy Krueger were among the movie props. Others were less interesting. This museum is two floors but it's very small and even if you totally pore over everything here there's no way you could spend multiple hours here. The storefront to their right is vacant and the bookstore on their left is listed as permanently closed so it would be nice if they could expand here or relocate. Maybe have special night events, maybe pair it with a little theater that focuses on horror? I'd like this place to last but I feel like eventually it has to grow or die. Don't we all? We're all gonna be one of those skeletons one day....

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.

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.

This is a fun FREE, family-friendly find!…read more I took my child here on a rainy day off school as an impromptu outing. We parked at the Palmer lot, which has free visitor parking, as well as permit parking if you have a blue (or gold) pass. The museum is easy to navigate and beautifully appointed. There's a little bit of everything, but no topic is too in-depth. So, if you're looking for a deep dive, this might not be the museum for you. My child love the "Please touch" signage, and this was a nice way to physically interact with the displays. We plan to return to see a show at the planetarium, which requires a ticket.

It's kid and accessibility friendly although definitely bring good shoes as some of the sidewalks are rocky and may be muddy if it has just rained as it did when we went. I'm so glad they had their 50th and had so many crafts to offer. Their gift shop also has super neat gifts and knickknacks made right there at the site. We will absolutely be back very soon!
