Excerpt from Dedication: The Hayes Memorial Library and Museum in Honor of Rutherford Birchard Hayes at Spiegel Grove State Park, Fremont, Ohio, May 30, 1916
Spiegel Grove, the much loved home of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, a beautiful twenty five acre grove of native forest trees was, some years ago, presented to the State of Ohio, for the use of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, by Colo nel Webb C. Hayes, together with the library and collections of his father, as a memorial to his parents. In the language of the circular of the Archaeological and Historical Society, issued in 1898, five years after the death of its former president, this offer of the family is unusual for its liberality and most worthy of commendation for the filial desire it expresses to perpetuate the memorial to loved and honored parents.
