If you're a history buff, like myself, you will love a tour of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron. The home, formerly lived in by the Seiberling family (think Goodyear), is now a museum. Though I can't remember how many rooms the house has, the home is spectacular and beautifully decorated. Everything in the home, from the furniture to the rooms, is authentic. From grand pianos, to period rooms to an amazing game room, the inside of the home is breathtaking. But the gardens are what brought me back to the home for a second visit. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and sprawling. The admissions price is moderate and well worth it!
