Spiegel Grove Squires home game

Watch a vintage baseball team bring the 1800s to life right on the lawn behind the Hayes Home. The Spiegel Grove Squires, the historical baseball team at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, will face off against the Canal Fulton Mules in a game that showcases how baseball was actually played during the Civil War era, when the sport was just beginning to capture American interest. This is a chance to see the game as it was played more than 150 years ago, with authentic rules and style. The event runs for two hours and is completely free to attend. It's a great outing for families curious about Ohio history and Civil War–era traditions, or for anyone who enjoys baseball with a historical twist. No registration is required—just show up ready to enjoy some outdoor sports history.
