We emailed ahead and made arrangements with Brenda to tour the house. She was very knowledgeable and an interesting guide (and curator). The story of General McPherson is an interesting one and you can tell that she enjoys what she does. Thanks to Brenda for an informative hour!
2. Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 255 reviews
The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is dedicated to 19th U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes and First Lady Lucy Hayes. The site houses their 25-acre wooded estate, known as Spiegel Grove; their 31-room Victorian mansion; the presidential library; a museum that was completely renovated in 2016; the tomb; and a mile of paved walking trails. There are fees to tour the museum and the home. Use of the presidential library, which has a massive genealogy and local history collections, is free. The first floor and and part of the second floor were restored in 2012 to look as it did when Rutherford and Lucy lived there. Nearly all of the furniture, paintings and artifacts in the home belonged to and were used by the couple and their family. The museum was renovated in early 2016 and includes interactive exhibits that tell the story of Rutherford and Lucy, the issues they faced and what they thought about those issues. Sit at a replica of the Resolute Desk - the original was given to President Hayes and still sits in the Oval Office of the White House - try on a Civil War soldier's haversack and more. The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is America's first presidential library and the forerunner for the federal presidential library system. The facility is celebrating its centennial in 2016. The site is open seven days a week most of the year. From January through March, it is closed on Mondays. It is also closed on Christmas, New Year's, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Easter and Thanksgiving. Hours on federal holidays are noon to 5 p.m.

This was my first time to visit the Hayes Presidential Library and Museums. I was more than impressed. There are many things to see. The guides through the house are very knowledgeable. The house itself is stunning. The museum has many artifacts about President Hayes and his family. The grounds are beautiful. There is lots of historical facts and piece on the grounds. It is a definite must-do experience.

It wasI who suggested a visit here, having done numerous other public caves in other states. When the entry and all the descents to lower levels proved both difficult and challenging my step daughter opted to go no further. So this is a fracture cave, not the usual type the public gets to enter which are formed by water flow and drips eroding limestone. This was opened by earth rock cracking underground, hence the descent is between places revealed by that movement. While it is very interesting and the guide was pleasant, it is not for anyone who has issues with movement or climbing. Would suggest only those who are relatively fit and without claustrophobia go.

The volunteers at the Mad River are really building up the museum and it's activities. For Christmas we rode in an old caboose, enjoyed cookies and milk, then took the grandchildren to talk to Santa. This was well worth the price of admission (which I believe was $5/person).
Another fund raiser they had over the winter was "Dinner in the Diner". We were served a delicious meal, wine included, in an old diner car! This has been an annual event. They informed us they had built the funds up for when they can start their next project - restoration of the first Silver Passenger car built. Cost of the material to redo the seats was $40,000.
If you have any interest in trains and history behind the railroad this is the place for you.
6. Sandusky County Jail
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Karen121545 - New Hudson, Michigan
We had a guided tour arranged by Brenda Havens, Sandusky County Convention Bureau, of the 1892 jail and also the 1840's dungeon located beneath the Sandusky County Courthouse and heard exciting stories of the history and hauntings behind the unique structure and the inmates who once resided there. So glad they do not use this type of facility to house inmates now. On second thought, they would not be allowed these days. Also, the inmates were fed bread and water maybe three times a day.

I won tickets off of Facebook and we loved this place! The haunted forest was ok but my favorite was the main hydro! They also had food vendors an escape room and you could have your cards read! Awesome place to visit
