Spiegel Grove, the 25-acre grounds of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in Fremont, has reopened to the public, although the Hayes Presidential buildings will remain closed.

Hayes Presidential asks visitors to maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance at Spiegel Grove and to stay home if they are feeling sick or have symptoms of COVID-19. Wearing masks is also recommended.

Spiegel Grove is reopening in conjunction with Fremont’s parks again being accessible to the public. Hayes Presidential staff have been working with the city and Sandusky County Health Department on coordinating efforts to minimize spread of the virus.

Its reopening is the first in a series of steps to begin Hayes Presidential’s full reopening to the public. Hayes Presidential is closely monitoring the situation and following the governor’s orders and directives.

Updates on reopening facilities and the rescheduling or cancellation of events and programs will be posted at rbhayes.org and on Hayes Presidential’s social media pages. For information, call 419-332-2081.
