Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, Akron

Amazing mansion, grounds, gardens and greenhouse. A gem for the city and the state. The staff and tour guide were incredibly helpful, insightful and knowledgeable. You should visit this site often. This will satisfy the fans of architecture and the history buff. This place is literally a time capsule, with over 90% of the contents from the original family. We will visit again. This has our highest recommendation. We would recommend studying the various tour options because you could easily spend all day at the estate. We spent two hours with a tour guide and saw less than half of the rooms! We will also return in the warmer months so we can get more appreciation of the numerous gardens. Keep strolling to find former tennis courts, ponds and a view of the valley below.

Wonderful holiday light display at Deck the Halls. They had overflow parking and a shuttle. Light display on grounds amazing. The trees inside the manor house were like you entered a fairy tale. Busy but crowds flowed really well. Great job staff & volunteers!!
