Stan Hywet Hall and Garden is located 5 miles south of Cuyahoga Valley National Park and is the former country estate of F.A. Seiberling family. Mr. Seiberling cofounded The Goodyear and Rubber Company with his brother in 1898 and the Seiberling Rubber Company in 1921. In 1957, the six surviving adult Seiberling children donated Stan Hywet to the newly formed Stan Hywet Hall Foundation, a non-profit organization formed for the preservation of the estate. It is now a historic house museum and country estate, open seasonally to the public, in keeping with the stone inscription above the Manor House front door, “Non nobis solum,” meaning “Not for us alone”.
The name of the mansion is an Old English name meaning “stone quarry.” The house has 65 rooms and is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in the country. It is surrounded by many acres of gardens and flowers.
