Inspired by this year's History Center Exhibit titled From Architecture to Beauty, The Dawes Arboretum will be hosting a four-part virtual series featuring Ohio historic landscapes and gardens, their designers, American landscape movements and historic land restorations. In addition to The Dawes Arboretum, this series will feature presentations from Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, Adena Mansion & Gardens, and Kingwood Garden Center. This series will occur once per month from August through November and is free of charge, but registration is required. Once you register for one program, you will automatically be registered for all programs in the series. In this session, we’ll explore Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron, Ohio.
Stan Hywet, the former home of F.A. Seiberling, co-founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, is one of the most important remaining examples of an American Country Estate built during the Industrial Age at the turn of the twentieth century.
