President Rutherford B. Hayes Museum

After the concert, we decided that we had better tour the Rutherford B. Hayes Museum and Library even though we both wanted lunch.  It was already about 3:30 PM and we figured we better see the Museum and eat later.

The Presidents' Room
Each President has a Glass Case with information about what happened during that President's term.  I wish it would have had some of their accomplishments but that wasn't a part of this display!
George Washington

Franklin Roosevelt
My favorite Presidents have been both Democrats and Republicans which would probably stun some of my friends who think I don't ever veer from my Democratic roots.  Franklin Roosevelt is my most favorite because of all the work he did to help people but I also love and admire Teddy Roosevelt for his conservation policies and the Antiquities Act of 1906 and, of course, Abraham Lincoln for making the USA a free nation.  

Theodore Roosevelt
After we left the museum, we were just ravenous and so we stayed parked and ate lunch inside the truck.  It sure tasted good as our lunch was eaten at about 5 PM!
