Originally the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens comprised of 3,000 acres (1214.06 hectares) in 1916 and was built amid 1912-1915 for F. A. Seiberling. It featured a Tudor Revival 65-room Manor House and the largest landscape gardens. Today the grand estate has seized down to 70 acres (28.33 hectares) yet is one of the most elegant mansions and ornate gardens of the country. The mansion is one of the best examples of Tudor Revival architecture and has well kept period decor that gives a glimpse of a bygone era. The themed gardens such as the Breakfast Room Garden, English Garden, Birch Allee Vista, Japanese Garden, Lagoon and The Dell are a delight to all visitors. The Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens also houses the Corbin Conservatory, a beautiful Gothic style greenhouse and the Gate Lodge where Alcoholics Anonymous took form. Home to the Ohio Shakespeare Festival and The Annual Classic, Antique & Collector Car Show, a visit to this magnificent place is a must when in the city.

A must see when in Akron as the grand big beautiful estate formerly owned by the family that founded Goodyear tires holds so much history of the region. The gardens are as impressive as the mansion. There was a butterfly aviara when we were there
MoreHave been here multiple times and enjoyed it in different seasons. We did the Garden History tour with Thomas who gave a different aspect to the experience. Thank you to the ticket seller who advocated for a 12:30 tour which had been just discontinued!
MoreWe fo every year to Deck the halls. Absolutely breathtaking! We're always so excited for the theme and all of the lights are just amazing!!!
MoreMOLDY Lovely place but we noted a musty smell upon arrival in the house. After 1 1/2 hrs we both were seriously allergic, ill & left.
MoreI did the self-guided tour and just loved the home. I'm not sure it's mentioned anywhere, but there are stairs involved. If there's a way around them, I didn't notice it. If you can't do stairs, be sure to check
