Scenic Stops: Rutherford B. Hayes' Home
The Hayes Presidential Center includes the home, library, museum, tomb, and 25-acre estate (called Spiegel Grove) of 19th U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. Entrance to the property is through one of six sets of original White House gates. Webb C. Hayes, the second son of Rutherford and Lucy Hayes who, shortly after the 1893 death of his famous father, started an effort to build a lasting memorial to the 19th President. He deeded the President's estate (Spiegel Grove) to the State of Ohio and the President's personal papers and possessions to the Ohio Historical Society contingent on the construction of a fireproof building on the grounds of the estate. Webb's dream came to fruition in 1916 with the opening of what was then called the Hayes Memorial. Webb considered the two-story Ohio sandstone structure inadequate to house his father's collection so he personally funded an addition to the structure in 1922, doubling its size. A second expansion was added in 1968, with wings built onto the east and west ends of the structure, adding 35,874 square feet of space. For hours visit rbhayes.org.

Presidential gravesites: Rutherford B. Hayes
Recorded September 3, 2010. President Hayes is buried on the grounds of his Spiegel Grove estate, approximately 90 miles west of Cleveland. He is buried under a small memorial along with his wife Lucy and son. The site also includes the restored Hayes home which is open to visitors as well as the Hayes presidential library and museum. Hayes was interred in nearby Oakwood Cemetery following his death in 1893 but was reinterred at the estate in 1915 after the land was given to the state; the estate grounds have since been designated a national historic landmark. Hayes is one of five presidents laid to rest in Ohio, the others being James Garfield, William McKinley, Warren Harding and William Henry Harrison. Of the five, he is the only one to not die in office of natural causes or assassination.

Presidential gravesites: Herbert Hoover
Recorded on September 8, 2015. Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, is laid to rest next to his wife Lou on the grounds of his birthplace and national historic landmark library in West Branch, Iowa. His large but simple grave marker is in keeping with a common practice among his fellow Quakers. Hoover's presidency is generally seen as a failure, thus he is usually ranked low in terms of greatness by modern day historians. This legacy has been disputed by some who claim he unjustly receives blame for the stock market crash of 1929, the seeds of which were planted years before he took office. Hoover enjoyed a considerable redemption of his public image after leaving the White House in 1933 and died at the age of 90; he held the record for longest American post-presidency until that mark was surpassed by Jimmy Carter.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Rutherford Birchard Hayes (October 4, 1822 – January 17, 1893) was the 19th President of the United States from 1877 to 1881, having served also as an American representative and governor of Ohio. Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist who defended refugee slaves in court proceedings in the antebellum years. During the American Civil War, he was seriously wounded fighting in the Union Army.
He was nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidency in 1876 and elected through the Compromise of 1877 that officially ended the Reconstruction Era by leaving the South to govern itself. In office he withdrew military troops from the South, ending Army support for Republican state governments in the South and the efforts of African-American freedmen to establish their families as free citizens. He promoted civil service reform, and attempted to reconcile the divisions left over from the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Hayes, an attorney in Ohio, served as city solicitor of Cincinnati from 1858 to 1861. When the Civil War began, he left a fledgling political career to join the Union Army as an officer. Hayes was wounded five times, most seriously at the Battle of South Mountain. He earned a reputation for bravery in combat and was promoted to the rank of brevet major general. After the war, he served in the Congress from 1865 to 1867 as a Republican. Hayes left Congress to run for governor of Ohio and was elected to two consecutive terms, from 1868 to 1872. Later he served a third two-year term, from 1876 to 1877.
In 1876, Hayes was elected president in one of the most contentious elections in national history. He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes. The result was the Compromise of 1877, in which the Democrats acquiesced to Hayes's election on the condition that he withdraw remaining U.S. troops protecting Republican office holders in the South, thus officially ending the Reconstruction era.
Hayes believed in meritocratic government and equal treatment without regard to race. He ordered federal troops to guard federal buildings and in so doing restore order from the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. He implemented modest civil service reforms that laid the groundwork for further reform in the 1880s and 1890s. He vetoed the Bland–Allison Act, which would have put silver money into circulation and raised nominal prices, insisting that maintenance of the gold standard was essential to economic recovery. His policy toward Western Indians anticipated the assimilationist program of the Dawes Act of 1887.
Hayes kept his pledge not to run for re-election, retired to his home in Ohio, and became an advocate of social and educational reform. Biographer Ari Hoogenboom said his greatest achievement was to restore popular faith in the presidency and to reverse the deterioration of executive power that had set in after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Although supporters have praised his commitment to civil service reform and defense of civil rights, Hayes is generally ranked as average or slightly below average by historians and scholars.
