Tuesday - Our day included Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Site in Fremont, Ohio. The site is known as Spiegel Grove. The word "spiegel" means mirror. It was so named because of the mirror image on water around that area.
He was the 19th President of the United States. His Presidential Center is the nation's first presidential library and was opened to the public on May 30, 1916.

Purchasing our tickets for the house tour
William, our tour guide, was from England. He did a fantastic job for our tour!
He came to the U.S. in 1968. GE Company hired him because many American young men were going to Vietnam and the work force was limited.
We headed to Mentor, Ohio for James A. Garfield Historic Site.
Garfield was the 20th President of the U.S.
