Spiegel Grove Squires home game

Bring the family to watch the Spiegel Grove Squires take on the Akron Black Stockings in a vintage baseball matchup on the lawn behind the Hayes Home. This is a chance to see how the game was actually played during the Civil War era, when baseball was just beginning to capture America's attention. The Squires, a historical baseball team based at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, demonstrate the rules, equipment, and style of play from that formative period in the sport's history. The game runs from 1 to 3 p.m. and is completely free for all ages, making it an accessible way to experience a piece of Ohio history. Whether your kids are baseball fans or simply curious about how people entertained themselves in the 1800s, this event offers a hands-on look at the past. The Spiegel Grove Squires are sponsored by Whirlpool Corp., and the event takes place at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in Fremont.
